There isn’t much left for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to accomplish in the NFL.

He has a Super Bowl ring, two league MVP awards and financial stability for 10 lifetimes, the latter of which will be reinforced again when he signs the most lucrative contract in NFL history for the second time in his career.

Keeping an edge requires a player to consistently push expectations, advance goals. His next objective? Creating a “fairytale ending” in Green Bay by playing well enough that the Packers have no reason to get rid of him, even as he attempts to play into his 40s.

Listen to Rodgers’ answer on what now drives him, via Aaron Nagler of PackersNews.com:

Rodgers was speaking at the Wisconsin High School Sports award show at Lambeau Field.

“Sustained greatness is what drives me,” Rodgers said. “To be the best and to be able to choose when I’m done playing.”

Rodgers knows what happens to veterans at the end of their career. Loyalty suddenly wanes. It’s a young man’s game, and franchises move on without hesitation when an aging player stops producing.

“As you’ve seen here recently with Jordy (Nelson), but even go back a few years, whether it’s Julius Peppers or A.J. Hawk or John Kuhn or Brett Favre. The fairytale ending of starting your career and ending it with the same organization rarely happens,” Rodgers said. “So that’s kind of my goal, to be indispensable to this organization into my 40s, to where you got to keep me around.”

Rodgers’ next extension will likely give him an opportunity to end his career with the Packers, given he plays well enough at the end of the deal to make it financially viable for Green Bay to keep it on the books.

It’s not hard to listen to Rodgers and think of Tom Brady, who has made it impossible for the Patriots to move on at quarterback as he continues taking New England to Super Bowls into his 40s. He’s now set up to start and end his career in New England, with the individual power to determine when he wants to be done.

Last August, Rodgers talked about leaving a similar type of legacy in Green Bay.

“It’s being a sports fan, and watching some of my favorite all-time players either not finish in the place they started or the place you fell in love watching them play, or they did,” Rodgers said. “And seeing how different the memory is of those players as a fan. Seeing some of my favorite players growing up finishing up now – the Derek Jeters, the Kobe Bryants, the Tim Duncans – doing it their entire career at one place, I think that’s pretty special.”
