Aaron Rodgers revealed he expects to finish his career on a team besides the
Green Bay Packers. The Packers selected Jordan Love in the first round of the
draft.

Aaron Rodgers最近在接受NFL專屬電視台訪問時，表示他預期將會在別支NFL的球隊
結束他的球員生涯。之所以會有這議題的討論，是因為AR母隊包裝工在今年選秀會
上，以首輪籤選進了同樣主打QB的Jordan Love。

"I think that's probably what happens," said Rodgers. "Based on just the
circumstances around everything, just look at the facts. They traded up, they
drafted him, I would say they like him, they want to play him."

Rodgers解釋說︰「我覺得這是未來有可能發生的狀況，因為根據圍繞在這環境的
所有事情—他們(高層)不但向上換進選秀籤，還選進了他(Love)–都是顯而易見
的。我只能說，高層們很喜歡他，甚至想要讓他上場。」

Rodgers signed a four-year, $134 million extension with the Packers in August
of 2018.

Rodgers在2018年開季前，才與包裝工達成一份4年總價超過一億美金的延長合約。

Rodgers doesn't expect Love to wait to supplant him as he did early in his
career with Brett Favre.

在採訪中，Rodgers也表達出Love並不是選來在有一天取代他的那種競合關係—也就
是會與他年輕時與包裝工另一名將Brett Favre的關係有所不同。

"Different scenario," Rodgers said. "Now I think quarterbacks are playing
earlier, it gives some latitude for young coaches and GMs to play their guys,
and I get it. I really do, I don't harbor any ill will about it."

AR又補充︰「這(兩者)是不同的情況，因為現在的我認為QB趁早上場是合理的，畢竟
要賦予那些年輕的教練與GM，派他們自己所選(年輕)球員上場比賽的權力，這點我懂
。更何況，我真的不會對這種事情(指被取代)，帶有任何負面的想法。」

心得︰對AR的發言並不會感到意外，
一方面Rodgers竄起的過程是因Favre離開這點，在網路一直有不少討論，
而且連Tom Brady這樣豐功偉業的QB，今年都選擇琵琶別抱，
也會讓AR近期的對生涯晚期規劃的發言變得敏感吧
