**Boston, MA** – Aaron Rodgers’ recent comments about the 2025 season potentially being his last have ignited a firestorm of criticism, particularly from the hosts of WEEI’s “Greg Hill Show.” Rodgers, who recently signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, indicated on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he expects the upcoming season to be his final one.
Courtney Cox, a co-host on the show, didn’t mince words, accusing Rodgers of seeking attention and orchestrating a farewell tour. “Give me a break… No, you did it so that you could tell everybody you’re retiring and have a farewell tour. That’s why you did it. You’re an egomaniac, a narcissist,” Cox exclaimed on air.
Greg Hill, her co-host, echoed the sentiment, labeling Rodgers’ announcement a “douche move” considering training camp hasn’t even started.
Even Executive Producer Chris Curtis joined in on the criticism, calling Rodgers “loathesome” and expressing disappointment with the Steelers for embracing the controversial quarterback. “It’s beneath the Steelers to bring this guy in. It’s pathetic. I hate that (head coach Mike Tomlin) is on board with it,” he said.
Rodgers, 41, is set to earn approximately $13.6 million with the Steelers in 2025. Last season with the New York Jets, he threw for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. The criticism comes as no surprise, given the polarizing reputation Rodgers has cultivated throughout his career.
