Aaron Rodgers will not be following in the footsteps of fellow great NFL quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, a source has revealed.
Despite nearing his 41st birthday, Rodgers has been adamant over the past year that he has one or two more seasons in the NFL left in him.
However, with his fate in New York shrouded in doubt, the NFL veteran is said to already be considering his future after hanging up his cleats.
But unlike the likes of Manning, who co-hosts ESPN's Monday Night Football alternative broadcast with brother Eli, or Brady, who is in his rookie season as Fox's lead announcer, Rodgers will not be stepping into the booth.
Instead, an insider revealed that the four-time MVP is more likely to switch the football field for the White House.
'After his playing career ends, he will be asked to be a TV analyst and commentator but that isn't something Aaron is very interested in doing,' a source told DailyMail.com.
'He is interested in playing a few more years in the NFL, with the Jets, but if that doesn't work out, he would consider going elsewhere for one more chance at a Super Bowl.
'But his post-playing days intentions are political. If it made sense, he would run for President or at least consider being a running mate in the way that RFK Jr. wanted him to be this year. Once he is retired, he would have no problem attempting to try his hand for political office.

This is EXCLUSIVE? Why?
Aaron Rodgers: Packers’ Linked Arms During National Anthem Is ‘Not a Protest’ But ‘Unified Demonstration of Love’

Sign up with the Cowboys. He won’t get a ring, but old wise one Jerry Jones will make him a billionaire and give the fans a dream in never never land
Whoop-t-doo...he played football. He may as well be a singer or actor.
Reagan spoke out early and often before running for governor. Rodgers is comic relief att this point. Will the NFL let him get away with peaking out? They did it with Kapernick because they’re scared of blacks.
He will retire at the end of the season and take a position in Trump’s administration. Timing works out.
Doing what?
His play is such that most think he’s already retired.
Also - he went to Berkeley - he’d be a lefty.
There are things to compliment Rogers on, but his time in NY have not helped him in my estimation. Jets are a mess, but the fact that their coaches dismissal seemed to fall directly on his recommendation. The fact that he chose not to show up for practices during spring training didn’t help.
He’ll be lucky to land a back-up spot somewhere.
Gov. of Wisconsin would be an improvement over the current RAT.
Can he read words on a teleprompter
The Jets are the Jets. Doesn’t matter if they had Tom Brady, they still would have lost. They did not make a single mistake in their last game. No fumbles or turnovers. Solid drives all game. And still lost to the Colts by 1. It’s fate.
Why ask me? Or was that a rhetorical question?
Joe Namath couldn’t win with this Jet team.
I assume reading from a teleprompter takes a bit of skill and practice.
Maybe he could be Football Czar for Trump (since I don't think Condi Rice backs Trump). If the country needs one.
