“Timing is kinda wild” - NFL fans react to Aaron Rodgers officiating Packers teammate’s wedding

Aaron Rodgers may have the entire NFL waiting on his decision regarding his future. But that doesn't mean the 38-year-old is exclusively staying at home sitting on his hands. Rodgers is having a busy weekend as he's officiating the wedding of his teammate and good friend, David Bakhtiari.

The timing of Rodgers officiating Bakhtiari's wedding is fascinating. Rodgers is likely to decide his future by Tuesday's franchise tag deadline. The timing of this, and the thought of Rodgers officiating a wedding in general, caused a stir of reactions on social media.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur attended the wedding, making it a reunion of Packers members. Bakhtiari's wedding date makes the story that much more noteworthy.

Abdirahman Ali's tweet summarized the chain of events perfectly.

Lena Blietz said you're lying if you don't secretly want Rodgers to officiate your wedding. She's not wrong in the sense that he'd say some memorable lines that are unique to him.

Mike Tanier joked that letting Aaron Rodgers officiate your wedding is comparable to the Omen Supernatural Horror Film Series.

A Packers fan tweeted Aaron Rodgers making his decision at the wedding would be in line with his character. That's not far-fetched, as Rodgers has timed his announcements to be at times when the media spotlight can focus on him most.

Kyle Broughton asked Aaron Rodgers on Twitter directly if the quarterback could officiate his wedding, should he ever have one. Perhaps Rodgers has a small business venture waiting for him in retirement someday.

Someone else on Twitter felt bad for Rodgers, as TMZ followed him to the wedding and posted videos of it on Sunday. TMZ following him to Bakhtiari's wedding is proof that the media conglomerate is everywhere.

Timothy Lindsey was happy and excited to see Rodgers officiating his good friend's wedding and posted a gif to accompany his tweet.

One Twitter user joked that Bakhtiari's wedding is a recruitment pitch for Aaron Rodgers to return to Green Bay.

Robert Gavin was another Twitter user who believes Rodgers will, somehow, find a way to make Baktiari's wedding about him and his decision.

Ken Barrett was one of the strongest believers in that outcome, mentioning Rodgers' diva tendencies and how they're likely to come out during the wedding.

Rodgers knows he has the NFL world waiting on his decision on whether to return to the Packers, request a trade, or retire. But according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, Rodgers is genuinely "torn" on his decision.

"With all eyes on #Packers QB Aaron Rodger and his future, here is the latest: Sources say Rodgers is truly torn on where he wants to play in 2022. While many in the NFL expect him to return -- there's lots of positvity in Green Bay -- he is going back and forth on what he wants." -- Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Meanwhile, teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos are sitting on pins and needles waiting to see what the reigning MVP will do. Their offseason plans will have to adjust accordingly, pending on what Rodgers decides.

With his favorite wide receiver Davante Adams being a likely franchise tag candidate, there's a strong possibility Rodgers will come back to the Packers.

With the deadline to place the franchise tag on players being Tuesday, we may not have to wait much longer.
