Aaron Rodgers has a big decision to make. The Packers quarterback hasn't decided if he will return to play in the NFL next season, be it for the Packers or another team as his name has been attached to recent trade rumors.
So how will Rodgers decided what to do? By going on a four-day isolation and "darkness retreat."
Rodgers told Pat McAfee on Tuesday, "I've got a pretty cool opportunity to do a little self-reflection in some isolation, and then after that I feel like I'll be a lot closer to a final, final decision."
The 39-year-old Rodgers explained that the retreat will be alone in the confines of a small house in an undisclosed location. Meals are delivered, but other than that there is no other contact with the outside world. And you sit in complete and total darkness.
"It's just sitting in isolation, meditation, dealing with your thoughts," Rodgers said.
"It stimulates DMT, so there can be some hallucinations in there but it's just kind of sitting in silence, which most of us never do. We rarely even turn our phone off or put the blinds down to sleep in darkness. I'm really looking forward to it."
Rodgers is still under contract with the Packers, and if he does return to the team for next season he will be owed $50 million.
