GREEN BAY, Wis. (WSAW) - On the Pat McAfee Show Tuesday, Aaron Rodgers clarified his comments made after Sunday’s NFC Championship Game loss.

In the interview, Rodgers said he gave a real answer in the moment after a devastating loss. “I don’t think that there’s any reason that I wouldn’t be back. But there’s not many absolutes in this business.”

"I don't feel like I said anything that I hadn't said before.. It was just more of a realization I think that ultimately my future is not necessarily in my control...

He added that questions and decisions are made at this time every year. “I am not like jetting out of town and ‘sayonara Green Bay’. There’s conversations to be had,” he said referring to the Packers front office and Matt LaFleur.
