Let the offseason of tea-leaf reading for Aaron Rodgers begin.
With the Green Bay Packers superstar quarterback facing an offseason in which there’s a chance he either stays with the team he’s always called home or is traded (or … is there any chance he pulls a Tom Brady??) Rodgers dropped a long, emotional message on Monday night.
In an Instagram post filled with photos, he sent love to Shailene Woodley, Rodgers’ fiancee, although there have been reports that they are no longer engaged. There were special messages to QBs he’s played with and some special teammates, before he opened up to other Packers he’s played with and then to everyone else: “Spread love and gratitude you beautiful people, and read a book once in a while too while you’re at it. Love and peace.”
What does it all mean? That’s what fans want to know:

There's one thing people noticed in one of the photos
The last picture in Aaron Rodgers’ Instagram post is this one. He is in every photo he posted except this one.
He normally stands between Cobb and Adams for the national anthem…
(This looks like the game he missed in KC)

For what it's worth: Aaron Rodgers usually stands in between Davante Adams and Randall Cobb during the national anthem. The final picture in his Instagram post is a photo of Cobb and Adams with an empty space between them (from the game he missed). pic.twitter.com/VSIc7oCCLU

And a nice touch by Rodgers to lecture everyone to “read a book once in awhile.” https://t.co/jaG1S9lSLM
