Aaron Rodgers is going to think about retirement. No one, even him, would deny that.
He's a 42-year old quarterback in the NFL. That doesn't happen all that often. And now that the Pittsburgh Steelers' season is over, he has to consider all the options.
But as far as how he will go about that, Rodgers was a bit coy in his postgame press conference Monday night.
Rodgers began by saying, "I'm not going to make any emotional decisions."

He was asked then if he wanted to return to Pittsburgh if he didn't retire.
"I'm not going to talk about that," Rodgers replied.
Then he was asked if he viewed Monday night as his possible last game.
"Every game could be my final game," Rodgers said to that question.

Clearly, he's not trying to stoke any flames at the moment.
Rodgers knows everything he says and does after this season-ending defeat to the Texans will be scrutinized.
He'll at least try to minimize that spotlight for the night, but Rodgers soon enough will have his full decision to make.
There are a lot of factors at play, but in the end, this will all come down to what Rodgers himself wants to do.
