NOT +300
After coming out of retirement to participate this season, the 45-year-old is the heavy favorite to hang up his helmet before the start of next season.
A seven-time Super Bowl champion and three-time MVP, his decision to back out of retirement was understandable but perhaps foolish. He had nothing left to prove, albeit a lot to lose, and now he is seemingly in limbo with a team that fails to promote his world-leading attributes.

Brady himself isn’t without his critics, though, suddenly looking like a 40-something quarterback who may have tried too hard coming out of retirement. A man of his caliber will always be eager to prove his longevity at the top, but a Buccaneers team that stutters may force him late in the season.
Aaron Rodgers Retirement Odds

NOT +200
As for Aaron Rodgers, there may be a little more life left in the tank with the reigning MVP turning 39 in December.
However, like Brady, he finds himself on a team that is massively underperforming after falling to three straight losses, all of which were favorites to win.
Green Bay’s 23-21 loss to the Washington Commanders was perhaps their lowest point yet after seven games, and has led fans and pundits to wonder if Rodgers will appear in the NFL beyond this season.

On average, Green Bay is putting up just 18.3 points per game, which is its worst record since 2006, and much of its troubles stem from not being able to force the ball down the field. Rodgers averaged just 3.2 passing yards on completions Sunday, and has the second-lowest average in the NFL (4.3 yards) on such passes.
It leaves them at +3500 in current Super Bowl odds, which is their highest price since the 2018 campaign, and their offensive line still clicks in the post-Devante Adams era with injuries to Randall Cobb and Christian Watson adding more. Salt. to the wounds
Despite this, Rodgers recently expressed his love for the game after struggling for motivation in an interview, citing how he “loves waking up knowing I’m going to play.”
In the summer, the veteran quarterback also confirmed that he would be retiring as a Packer and not looking to walk away from the franchise.
