As Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers ponders his NFL future and his potential retirement, he is taking quite a unique approach to the process, planning an “isolation retreat” where will spend four nights in complete darkness before making a decision about his future. There were reports and rumors that Rodgers had already begun that retreat, meaning a decision could be coming in the near future, but it appears that’s not accurate.
According to football media personality Pat McAfee, Aaron Rodgers has not yet begun his darkness retreat and will be a guest on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday.

“It will be the final Aaron Rodgers Tuesday of the season tomorrow. Although it was reported just yesterday that Aaron Rodgers was going into the darkness today. Our sources have told us much different news than that. Our sources actually said ‘hey, want to have another Aaron Rodgers Tuesday next week?’ Yeah, we’d love to have an Aaron Rodgers Tuesday.”
McAfee said that he read reports that Rodgers was beginning his darkness retreat on Sunday and thought that the news meant their Tuesday interview was canceled. But he confirmed that the retreat has not yet begun and that Rodgers will be on the show on Tuesday.
“Aaron Rodgers Tuesday will be happening,” McAfee. “We will chat with Aaron about the darkness that is coming, I believe, in a matter of days.”
It’s certainly a big update in the Rodgers situation, and the NFL world had plenty to say about it on Twitter.
So Rodgers did not begin his darkness retreat today… https://t.co/SMFkiPJf7P

It appears reporting on Aaron Rodgers isolation is off by a few days…he’ll have his last “Aaron Rodgers Tuesday” with McAfee tomorrow, so there will be no post-isolation/decision McAfee Show appearance. https://t.co/WZKWzZ7l3w
