Thursday Night Football broadcaster Al Michaels dropped a fascinating tidbit during this week's battle against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns at the Dawg Pound.
According to Michaels, Rodgers told him he expects to be either tending to his pregnant wife or taking care of his newborn baby a year from now.
Rodgers has been vocal about retiring after this season. This tidbit from Michaels would obviously be a huge impetus as to why Rodgers would put up his shoulder pads for good.
Rodgers has been open in the past about the possibility of expanding his family after he's done playing. Of course, it would make sense for him to retire if he and his wife are planning on having a baby in the near future.

That's fascinating. We'll see if Rodgers expands his family a year from now, and if that's why he's not in the NFL any longer in 2027.
What happened between Rodgers and Mike McCarthy during the Browns game?
Comedy gold.
