Aaron Rodgers is poised to hang up his cleats after the 2025 NFL season, having recently signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The four-time MVP expressed doubts about continuing his career beyond the upcoming season, acknowledging it might be his last. At 42, Rodgers is already the oldest active player in the NFL. This decision comes after much speculation regarding his potential retirement following his previous contract discussions.

Rodgers isn't alone in considering retirement. Several prominent players may also call it quits after the 2025 campaign. Among them are Travis Kelce, Joe Flacco, and Bobby Wagner, each of whom face pivotal seasons ahead. Kelce, the Chiefs' standout tight end, flirted with retirement after the last season's Super Bowl loss but is back for his 13th season. Flacco, now with the Browns, and Wagner, who re-signed with the Commanders, will seek to leave their marks as they eye the possibility of a final farewell on high notes.
