Rodgers announced the decision during an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Wednesday. Rodgers was a routine guest on the show throughout the season.

“I made it clear my intention was to play and my intention was to play for the New York Jets,” Rodgers said. “And I haven’t been holding anything up at this point. It’s been compensation that the Packers are trying to get for me.” He also described his departure as “bittersweet.” “I fucking love that city. I love that organization and always going to have love for that organization. The facts are right now they want to move on, and now so do I,” he said.
