AARON RODGERS AS POTENTIAL RFK JR VICE PRESIDENT WOULD MEAN MASSIVE PAY CUT

The latest controversy came as Rodgers was named on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s short list for running mates as he embarks on an independent presidential campaign against the presumptive major party nominees – Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Pat McAfee, a close confidant of Rodgers, revealed on his ESPN show that Rodgers was in Costa Rica on yet another ayahuasca retreat when the news broke. He was seen in photos with newest Miami Dolphins defensive back Jordan Poyer in the Central American nation.

Both players have openly discussed their use of the drug, with the quarterback crediting it for his MVPs in 2020 and 2021.
