The 38-year-old quarterback shared a lengthy #MondayNightGratitude post and included pictures from “the last beautiful year.”
He thanked actress Shailene Woodley, head coach Matt LaFleur, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, and his fellow quarterbacks.
He also showered gratitude upon his inner circle called Friday Club.
Rodgers also penned a paragraph for all of his past and present teammates before giving an advice on spreading love and gratitude.
What Does Rodgers’ Cryptic Post Mean?
First of all, posting a picture with Woodley is head-scratching after their engagement was called off.
Does it mean that they are back together or that news about their breakup is false?
Some fans also gave a potential timeline of what may happen in the coming days.

The Pat McAfee Show will return from their week-long break soon and Rodgers may use the platform to share his decision.
His “Aaron Rodgers Tuesdays” on that show gives football fans a deep dive into his thoughts that could be controversial at times.
There are also those who reacted that he will be going elsewhere to continue his career.
Everyone after reading Aaron Rodgers IG post: “He’s announcing his decision tomorrow! He’s retiring! He’s going to Denver! He’s going to Indy!”

The last picture on his post is highly telling, considering that the empty space is where Rodgers often stands during the National Anthem.
The void between Randall Cobb and Davante Adams on that photo might be telling a thousand words, if not more.
But while his Instagram update could mean several things, ESPN analyst Ryan Clark told everyone to hold their horses because Rodgers knows that everyone listens to him, for better or worse.

"Every time he does something, we dummies engage! … He's also now become somewhat of a media darling, whether it's because you love him or you hate to hear him, we all listen. … We need to stop letting him control us!" pic.twitter.com/ynVnLOnC6B
