If that was the case I don't think Rodgers would have seemingly pulled out all the stops to try to return at the end of last season, rather than just retire at that point. Torn achilles would normally be 6 mths rehab minimum even for someone half his age but he was apparently close enough to a return that they activated him from IR and gave him a roster spot. Of course his body may well let him down again but he seems pretty driven to me.
I get the sense he is transitioning to a media/podcasting career, and the attention he drew to his rehab was a 'reality TV' type move in itself. Of course it's just my take on it, and - though I am biggest red on Jets - it would be great to see him something like his best.
