Heading out of the and into the long offseason, there is no gift in football quite like an "here's what I'm doing this summer" storyline, especially when it has nothing to do with football and everything to do with exacting excruciating punishments on his own body and mind.Unle s you've spent the last several days in a darkne s retreat, deprived of all sensory stimulation and outside news, you'll know that Rodgers will soon spend several days in a darkne s retreat, deprived of all sensory stimulation and outside news.Cue the jokes.You'll have heard a bunch of them by now, with darkne s humor having taken over the 's chatterverse, painful puns and witty wisecracks that you could listen to all day or night, though I gue s night and day Michael Ferland Kids Jersey  are e sentially the same thing if you're in a spot where it's just dark all the freaking time.Amid everything going on with Rodgers  and the reality that uncertainty reigns in regard to whether he has a future in or somewhere else, or walking the earth seeking enlightenment  it must also be noted that this is the most Aaron Rodgers of all Aaron Rodgers things.Dude's going to ensconce himself in pitch-black for half a week while he decides if he likes the look of $59.6 million a year to return to the Packers? Well yeah, of course he is.For a guy who has spent recent summers puking and pooping and starving and hallucinating in the name of inner wellne s, this might actually be one of the tamer options he has undertaken, and if nothing else, he'll have chance to have a darn good think while it' Cam Talbot Women Jersey s so unlit and quiet and devoid of other entertainment.What's there to think about? Quite a lot. The universe's existential questions should get him through the first couple of days, but surely it can't be long before the meditative methods pa s his thought proce s along to football matters. Rodgers has said he doesn't want to be part of a reboot, and there'd be no point in Green Bay keeping the highest-paid QB in football if that was the direction they were headed. Just spin along with and get on with it.On Tuesday, Rodgers made some remarks on "The Pat McAfee Show" that could be taken either way, and Rodgers loves leading  Eddie Lack Men Jersey the media and the public on a merry dance because, well, there's no because, he just does."Eighteen years, man," Rodgers said. " Green Bay's always going to be home."Make of that what you will.The oddsmakers have the top of the list of likely places for him to start next season, ahead of the Packers and the , and there is no question that either Las Vegas or New York would roll out the red carpet and take their chances on the ability of a four-time league MVP to lead them out of the doldrums.They say that when you go into retreat like this, it is po sible to remember all kinds of stuff you'd previously forgotten, though Rodgers will need no reminding he's ended 12 straight postseasons empty, and will surely want to Lanny McDonald Jersey  be in a place where he's got better pieces around him than he had last year in Wisconsin.In Sin City, old pal awaits, who continues to publicly and not-so-subtly invite Rodgers to come on board. The Jets, with the experiment having proved truly unfruitful, have an exciting young core on both sides of the ball.But this is Rodgers and anything might happen. Heck, who knows what the deep part of the subconscious is capable of telling someone after it's spent nearly 100 hours robbed of the basic human default condition of looking at a smartphone?Maybe voices come to Rodgers in the jungle, or desert, or wherever his retreat will take place, and whisper " " or " " or "just stay here and forget this football thing."He couldn't do that could he? Walk away from all that money and the thing he's done at the highest level for so long? And  here's the real kicker - deprive football fans of our favorite summer fuel, which for the last three years has largely revolved around wondering what Rodgers is going to do next?It's OK everyone, if it does happen that way, we can handle it. We've got the blueprint.
