Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers seemed pretty dejected after the team’s loss against the Bucs in the NFC Championship game.
During his postgame press conference, Rodgers made a couple of cryptic comments about his future and went on to thank the media for this season.
Aaron Rodgers used the words future, finality and gutted multiple times. He also just finished his presser thanking all the writers for their questions all year. He says he'll always be thankful for this season, says "thank you" again and then his press conference ended.

About 15 minutes ago, I was very sure Aaron Rodgers would be the Packers QB in 2021, but I must admit I'm a little less sure right now
