Aaron Rodgers is approaching what he says will be his final season as an NFL quarterback.
The four-time MVP is mending fences along the way.
Rodgers, who’s been estranged from his family for years, posted images of himself on Instagram Monday with family members alongside the caption “Another bonding week.”

The gallery featured different pictures of Rodgers smiling alongside his mother Darla, father, Ed and brother, Luke. His brother, Jordan, was not in the gallery.
These look like normal pictures of family members enjoying time with one another. But they’re notable with Rodgers having been publicly estranged from his immediate family for years.
Per Pro Football Talk, Rodgers opened up about the family discord on the “Pat McAfee Show” in March.
“If you look at the saga with my family, for years it was one-sided,” Rodgers said, per PFT. “They were making shots in the media saying bulls***. I never said anything until it got to the point where I’m like, ‘All right, enough is enough.’”
Per PFT, Rodgers cited religious differences as a source of the falling out that’s been public since his brother Jordan’s appearance on “The Bachelorette” in 2016. But Rodgers, who got married last year, appears ready for a new phase of life with football retirement on the horizon.

What does this mean for Aaron Rodgers the football player as he approaches his second season with the Pittsburgh Steelers? Probably not much.
He’s not waking up 10 years younger because of it. But it might put him in a better frame of mind heading into his final NFL season.
