Darkness Retreat

Brandon Marshall Seemingly Spoils Aaron Rodgers Retirement

by

Aaron Rodgers is a very interesting guy. Over the last week or so, he has been contemplating his next move. Although, he has been doing this in a very unorthodox way. Rodgers reportedly went to Oregon to take part in some sort of “Darkness Retreat.” Overall, Rodgers was without any light sources for about half a week. Here, he was able to meditate and think deeply about whether or not he wants to return to Green Bay, ask for a trade, or just retire altogether.

Of course, there has been a ton of speculation about what Rodgers wants to do next. It is easy to see why when you consider just how amazing he is at the quarterback position. Rodgers is a legend, and there is always fanfare around what he will do next. However, it seems like Brandon Marshall knows something we don’t. The former NFL star took to Instagram on Tuesday night and congratulated Rodgers on his career and retirement. What makes this so bizarre is the fact that none of the insiders have reported on Rodgers calling it quits. In fact, even Rodgers hasn’t made any indication that he plans to retire.

Aaron Rodgers Retires?

“So I wanted to be the first to say, ‘Salute to Aaron Rodgers for a phenomenal career.’ You are one of the greatest,” Marshall said. “Me personally? You’re my favorite quarterback ever. Favorite. Aaron Rodgers, congratulations on a phenomenal career. You won a Super Bowl…hell, I never even make it to the playoffs. You should be proud, bro. Your name and your team, that team, forever sketched in the history of the NFL. Your kids’ kids’ kids’ kids’ is going to be able to see that. You won back-to-back MVPs. Then you won three MVPs. You’re phenomenal. It’s okay to walk away, bro. There’s nothing left to prove. Go travel the world. Go explore. Build your family.”

It is hard not to question Marshall’s sources here. Although he is a media guy now, he isn’t as well connected as someone like Adam Schefter or Ian Rapoport. Having said that, Marshall has left a lot of NFL fans confused over the past 16 hours. Hopefully, Rodgers comes out and clarifies things soon. Until then, stay tuned to HNHH for updates.

Aaron Rodgers Officially Emerges From The Darkness

by

Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game of football. However, he is certainly someone who has a bit of an interesting way of going about things. Overall, his “free thinking” ways have given him a similar reputation to that of Kyrie Irving. Despite this, Rodgers has remained true to himself and is strong in his convictions. He is always speaking his mind, and he does not hold back when something rubs him the wrong way. For better or for worse, he is 100 percent himself at all times.

Recently, Rodgers was laughed at by the NFL community for his revelation that he would be going to a darkness retreat. Essentially, he would be spending a few days in the dark and during this time, he would contemplate his NFL future. Consequently, fans had a whole bunch of questions about this “darkness retreat.” After all, the entire concept of it seems pretty ridiculous. However, Rodgers was ready to take it seriously, and now, the experience seems to be over.

Aaron Rodgers Is Back

According to reporter Xuan Thai of ESPN, Rodgers had been in the darkness retreat for the past few days. Although, it has since been revealed by the owner of the property that he has left. Interestingly enough, this darkness facility is quite the place. As Adam Schefter laid out in the tweet above, there was 300 square feet of space where Rodgers was staying. Moreover, Rodgers was left with no light sources or technology of any kind. Thankfully, he did have a bed and a bathroom, with a mat for meditation purposes, for good measure. For now, though, we do not know how Rodgers felt about the experience. We’re sure he will tell Pat McAfee, soon enough.

This should lead to some interesting results for Rodgers and the Packers. The team is prepared to trade him anywhere should he decide he wants to leave. For now, teams like the New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders seem to be in the running for the QB. This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates. Additionally, let us know what you think of all of this, in the comments down below.
