#Aaron Rodgers signing new deal to stay with Packers

“Aaron Rodgers signing new deal to stay with Packers”

Aaron Rodgers is running it back in Green Bay, agreeing to a new deal to stay with the Packers.

The two-time reigning NFL MVP had been noncommittal this offseason as to whether he would return to the Packers, seek a trade or retire. Pat McAfee and NFL Network reported that Rodgers and the Packers have agreed on the contract extension.

NFL Network reported the deal was four years and $200 million. However, McAfee — a Rodgers confidant — disputed that number in a follow-up tweet. Fox Sports reported that the contract is worth $50 million a season, though did not specify the length of the deal.

Rodgers held out from the Packers last offseason in part over frustrations that he was not given enough say in personnel decisions and that led to a fractured relationship with GM Brian Gutekunst.

Green Bay seemed to go out of its way to accomodate Rodgers after he re-joined the team over the summer following a months-long standoff over a trade demand.

“I feel like I’m at the place relationally with the Packers — in a really good place, especially with Brian and the way our friendship and trust has grown,” Rodgers told McAfee in January.

“Brian and I have had good conversations throughout the year, and when it comes time to make a decision, we’ll have a conversation and that’ll be that. It won’t be a long, drawn-out process. “

The contract for the 38-year-old Rodgers had been set to expire after the 2022-23 season. Rodgers and the Packers went 13-4 last season, earning the top seed and a playoff bye in the NFC.

However, they were upset at home by the San Francisco 49ers, losing 13-10 in a game in which Rodgers threw for 225 yards and no touchdowns.
