Aaron Rodgers insists he's focused on trying to secure an AFC North title for the Pittsburgh Steelers during Week 18 of the NFL season. But he's aware of the uncertainty that lies ahead in regards to the future of his storied career whenever this run ends.
"I'm thinking about this week, but obviously I'm 42 years old and I'm on a one-year deal," Rodgers told reporters on Wednesday, Dec. 31. "So you know what the situation is. Whenever the season ends, I'll be a free agent. So that'll give me a lot of options if I still want to play. I mean, not a lot of options, but there'll be options, I would think, maybe one or two, if I decide I still want to play.
"I've enjoyed this experience, and everybody in Pittsburgh has been fantastic to me on and off the field," he added. "And it's really what I was hoping for this experience was, it's been even better than I was hoping."

Rodgers' latest comments come in the lead up to the Steelers' "Sunday Night Football" showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. The winner will be crowned AFC North champion and host an NFL playoff game during wild-card weekend. The loser will be eliminated from postseason contention. The Cleveland Browns upset Pittsburgh in Week 17 once Rodgers' attempt at a game-tying touchdown drive came up short.
