“Yes,” he replied.
“As in your last year?” the reporter asked.
“This is it, yep,” Rodgers said.

Rodgers signed with the Packers in 2005 and became the quarterback for Green Bay in 2008 after Brett Favre retired.
In 2023, Rodgers signed with the New York Jets.
Rodgers suffered an ankle injury 5 minutes into his debut with the New York Jets on September 11, 2023, and was out for the entire season.
In a display of patriotism on the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Rodgers took the field holding a giant American flag.
