Future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Thursday on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he is not ready to make a decision on his plans for the 2025 season and allowed that retirement could still be a possibility.

Rodgers confirmed he has had talks with the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers since his release by the New York Jets last month. The Giants have since signed quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and the Vikings have said they are committed to giving J.J. McCarthy a chance to show he can be their starting quarterback.

The Steelers are the only one of those teams with a still-unsettled quarterback situation after only signing Mason Rudolph in free agency. Rodgers said he is still in contact with the Steelers but said he hasn't given them any indication he has a timeline for a decision.

Rodgers said right now, his sole focus is on his personal life. He said he is in a serious relationship and two people close to him are dealing with serious situations. He said next week's NFL draft will have no impact on his plans.

The Jets released Rodgers on March 12, two days after agreeing to a contract with former Steeler Justin Fields as they moved in a different direction at quarterback under the new regime of coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey.

The Jets had earlier announced they were moving on from Rodgers after meeting with him in February. Rodgers had flown from California to meet with the Jets' new brass and said Thursday he was "shocked" he was quickly told they were moving in a new direction and confused because he felt they could have delivered that message in a phone call. He said, however, that the ending "didn't damper" his feelings about his two years with the franchise.

Rodgers' two-year tenure with the Jets produced little on-field success, however. He won only six of his 18 starts, and the Jets sputtered to a 5-12 record in 2024. Coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas, who were instrumental in luring Rodgers to the Jets in 2023, were fired during the season.

Rodgers, 41, threw for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns in 2024, both third on the Jets' single-season list, but it was an uneven performance. He finished 25th in Total QBR, 30th in completion percentage and 28th in yards per attempt among qualified passers. The Jets finished 3-7 in one-score games, with Rodgers failing in a few of them to pull out wins on his final possession.

The Jets' trade with the Green Bay Packers for Rodgers in April 2023 will be remembered as one of the most disappointing moves in franchise history. His first season ended quickly, as he tore his left Achilles on the fourth snap of the first game. He started every game in 2024, but the Jets, who began the year with Super Bowl aspirations, were a nonfactor most of the season.

The four-time MVP endeared himself to the Jets' organization in 2023, when he took a voluntary $35 million pay cut to help provide cap relief. His teammates voted him the most inspirational player in 2023, when he tried to return from Achilles surgery late in the season. Ultimately, his comeback bid came up short.

Before joining the Jets, Rodgers led the Packers to 11 playoff appearances and one Super Bowl championship in 15 years as the starting quarterback.

He is the Packers' franchise leader in touchdown passes (475), completion percentage (65.3) and passer rating (103.6) and ranks second behind only Brett Favre in passing yards (59,055) and completions (5,001).

Last season, Rodgers became just the fifth player in NFL history to throw 500 touchdown passes, achieving the feat in the final game of the regular season. He threw four touchdown passes in all in the game, putting him at 503 for his career. Tom Brady (649), Drew Brees (571), Peyton Manning (539) and Favre (508) are the other members of the 500 club.

Rodgers has only thrown 116 interceptions in his 20-year career and has passed for 62,952 yards, seventh all-time.
