Why ‘insufferable’ Aaron Rodgers could miss out on lucrative post-NFL career

Why 'insufferable' Aaron Rodgers could miss out on lucrative post-NFL career

Aaron Rodgers is ‘insufferable’ and ‘needs an image rehab’ if he hopes to land a big job in sports media after his NFL career is over.

That is according to reports examining whether the legendary quarterback could move into the broadcasting booth after retiring from playing.

A number of former quarterbacks have carved out lucrative careers behind the microphone, most notably Tom Brady.

Brady signed a 10-year, $375million deal with Fox Sports, a few years after Tony  Romo landed a $180m extension with CBS Sports. 

But, according to Front Row Sports, Rodgers is struggling to garner much interest from inside the industry.

The quarterback is plotting his next move after leaving the New York Jets. And reports claim that Rodgers would not be nearly as in demand as Brady and Co.

According to industry insiders, cited by Front Office Sports, the 41-year-old ‘comes off as a pompous know-it-all’ who would ‘turn off’ viewers. 

There are also concerns over Rodgers’ stance during the Covid-19 pandemic, when he criticized vaccine mandates and said: ‘I believe strongly in bodily autonomy and the ability to make choices for your body, not to have to acquiesce to some sort of woke culture or crazed individuals who say you have to do something.’

He also landed himself in H๏τ water over comments he made about Jimmy Kimmel. The comedian threatened to sue the four-time NFL MVP, and accused of him putting his family in danger, after Rodgers hinted that Kimmel would be named in the Jeffrey Epstein papers.

Rodgers refused to apologize and denied ever suggesting the host would be on Epstein’s client list.

Pat McAfee has reportedly paid Rodgers ‘millions’ to appear on his show. But the quarterback has also had a number of public spats with TV figures.

After the quarterback criticized ESPN and its pundits, Ryan Clark branded him ‘arrogant’, ‘tone-deaf’ and a ‘fraud’. Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd, meanwhile, has previously claimed that Rodgers is ‘exhausting to everybody’.

The quarterback’s retirement plans remain unclear. He is reportedly in ‘no rush at all’ to decide what he will do next season.

Rodgers has previously claimed to have no interest in working in the media after he retires.  ‘After this thing is done, you’re not going to see me,’ he said.
