3 reasons why Aaron Rodgers should stave off retirement and sign with Tom Brady's Raiders

Aaron Rodgers, once again, is grappling with the question every NFL star eventually arrives at. One day, the quarterback will have thrown his last touchdown, interception and completion. However, once that door is shut, it rarely reopens.

As such, the Jets quarterback has lots of questions to answer this offseason. Even if he doesn't retire, there is a strong chance that his time with the Jets has ended. Here's why the 41-year-old quarterback should do at least one more season with the Raiders.

#1 - One more series of paychecks

Rodgers might have other sources of income after nearly two decades in the NFL, but none so obvious as collecting a game check. Once that spigot dries up, every financial mistake gets magnified going forward. As such, adding one last series of game checks before riding off into the sunset is never a bad idea.

If he were to play on his current deal for one more year with the Raiders, he would earn $37.5 million.

#2 - Opportunity for Aaron Rodgers to be on Tom Brady's side for once

For most of his career, Aaron Rodgers was seen as one of the biggest rivals to Tom Brady. Some argued that Brady's will to win trumped Rodgers' talent and vice versa. However, in a bizarre NFL twist of fate, Rodgers and Brady have a chance to team up.

Tom Brady owns a minor share of the Raiders, so when Rodgers would win, so would Brady. If nothing else, the story of the turn of events alone should be enough reason for Rodgers to give it a try as he seems to love a good story.

The turn of events might be the biggest story in the AFC going into the season, which Rodgers arguably seems to be in the business of.

#3 - Comfortable location

Rodgers has spent his entire career fighting the elements in the Lambeau Field open-air stadium and the New York Jets' MetLife Stadium. As the years have gone on, those winter-time hits don't feel any better.

Joining the Las Vegas Raiders to practice and play in a year-round warmer climate and indoor dome at Allegiant Field would seemingly feel like an upgrade, regardless of how well the season goes.

On top of that, he has a metropolis of entertaining things to do while in the city. Some people move to Las Vegas to retire, but Rodgers would have the luxury of working in the amusement park-like city.
