Rodgers reflected fondly on his time in Green Bay as his former team prepares to visit Pittsburgh on Sunday.
“I was there 18 years,” Rogers said. “Even when I stop it, it’s a big part of my career. I’ll retire the Packers and see what happens after that. I have a lot of love for the organization (and) my time there.
“They asked this week if it was a revenge game or whatever. What did I get here for revenge? They made me a lot of money. I grew up there, spent some of the best years of my life there. I’ve got nothing but love for the organization.”

Favre returned to Green Bay and had his No. 4 jersey retired when he was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 2015.
