It's a good thing Olivia Munn enjoys Green Bay -- she may be there a while.
Aaron Rodgers recently opened up about wanting to remain a Packer for the rest of his career. The quarterback will enter his 12th season in Green Bay this year and his eighth as a starter. He's under contract through 2019, when he'll be 35, but if he keeps it up he can play beyond that season.
If his career continues beyond age 35, Rodgers has no doubt about where he wants to play.
"You look at two of my favorite players from my sports-watching lifetime: Derek Jeter and Kobe Bryant, and now Tim Duncan has just retired," Rodgers told Bill Simmons on 'Any Given Wednesday' via NFL.com. "Those are three amazing examples of guys who played their entire time, their legacy I think gets made in those later years, where they have already proven to win championships and be at the top of their game ... They stay with the same team, they stick it out. ... I think there's a lot to be said about finishing your legacy with one team. It would be nice if I am able to do that."
It's a good thing for Rodgers that his girlfriend and likely future wife Munn really enjoys life in Green Bay.
"I love it," Munn told Conan O'Brien in January. "It's really comfortable there, and everybody's so great. ... It's a home for me."
Rodgers owns an 80-39 record as a starter and sits second in Packers history with 32,399 passing yards and 257 touchdowns. He also brought the city a Super Bowl in the 2010-11 season.
The 32-year-old signal caller had a 60.7 completion percentage last season while throwing for 3,821 yards with 31 touchdowns and eight interceptions. The two-time MVP, who was selected No. 24 overall in the 2005 NFL Draft by Green Bay, owns a 65.1 career completion percentage.
As for his personal life, Munn is reportedly hoping Rodgers will propose this offseason before football once again consumes his life -- but time is running out.
"Olivia is completely ready for it, she has been kind of hinting to Rodgers that the time is now," a source told Terez Owens last month. "Once the season starts Rodgers' mindset is solely on football, so Munn was hoping the offseason was the time it was going to happen."
The Packers open up their season on Sept. 11 against the Jaguars in Jacksonville.
