The Ides of March are upon us, and so too, it appears, is a decision about Aaron Rodgers' future.After weeks of speculation, Rodgers confirmed what much of the NFL world believed during his weekly appearance on "The "Pat McAfee Show" Wednesday:He wants to play for the Jets next year.Aaron Rodgers tells that he has made clear since Friday his intention is to play and to play for the New York Jets. Tom Peli sero (@TomPeli sero) Rodgers detailed the conversations that preceded his choice, explaining that he had initially planned on hanging up his cleats at the end of 2022. That's why Rodgers opted to run off Lambeau Field with Randall Cobb after the Packers' Week 18 lo s to the Lions.MORE:He was "90 percent" committed to retirement at the time of his venture into a darkne s retreat in February.However, Rodgers explained that he got the sense that things changed from the Green Bay front office's point of view when he returned from his retreat. He felt the organization quite clearly wanted to move him on, a decision Rodgers described as "bittersweet."The four-time MVP emphasized how, although he loves and is forever indebted to Green Bay, he had grown weary of the way the organization had gone about treating older players over the years. From A.J. Hawk and Jordy Nelson to him and Cobb, he felt there were better ways to handle things with players who had shown loyalty to the franchise.As such, when it was Rodgers' name on the chopping block, he wanted options. And after a few teams reached out, it was New York that stole the march on him, putting on the full-court pre s to acquire his services.Despite that, Rodgers Carlos Lee Jersey hasn't officially made the move to the Big Apple yet. That's because the franchises haven't yet agreed on compensation, something that seemed to irk Rodgers given his standing in the organization's history.Neverthele s, it looks like it's a matter of when, not if, Rodgers will turn out for Gang Green. Now, the only questions are: What do the Jets need to give up to get him and will Rodgers don Broadway Joe Namath's iconic No. 12 jersey?MORE:Sporting News tracked Rodgers' interview with McAfee as well as the latest rumors surrounding his future as it happened.
