Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, has “agreed to a four-year, $200 million contract,” making him the highest-paid athlete in NFL history.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Aaron Rodgers is guaranteed $153 million. The quarterback for the Green Bay Packers is expected to visit London in 2022 for the team’s first-ever game in the United Kingdom. Rodgers tweeted on Tuesday to confirm his commitment to the team, but he did not mention that a contract had been signed.
When Green Bay plays its first-ever game in the United Kingdom in 2022, Aaron Rodgers is scheduled to visit London.
Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, is expected to sign a new contract at Lambeau Field, making him the highest-paid athlete in NFL history.
According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, Rodgers’ new deal would pay $200 million over the course of four years, with $153 million in guaranteed money.
Though he claimed no contract had been signed, Rodgers tweeted on Tuesday to indicate he will play for the Packers the following season.
According to Michael Smith of NBC Sports, the Packers were unable to allow a two-time MVP to leave town and join another club.
“Hey everyone, just wanted to clear some things up. Reports about me signing a deal are wrong, and so are the reported terms of the contract I “signed,” but yes, I will be playing with the @packers next season,” he wrote. I’m thrilled to be returning in #year18.”
After the 2016 season, Rodgers had been considering his options, since the Packers had finished with 13 wins for the third straight season under Matt LaFleur, but had yet to win the Super Bowl.
In addition to making overt references to retirement, the seasoned quarterback had been connected to a trade somewhere in an attempt to win a second championship.
However, he keeps searching in Green Bay, where he will be joining the Packers for their inaugural London game this next season.
Before the Packers were ultimately defeated 13-10 by the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, Rodgers passed for 4,115 passing yards and 37 touchdowns to just four interceptions last season, earning him the title of league MVP for the second straight year.

Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, earns his fourth career MVP award in 2021.
It came after a turbulent offseason during which Aaron Rodgers was said to have told people in the Green Bay organisation behind closed doors that he had no intention of rejoining the team until the 2021 campaign.
The 38-year-old refused to acknowledge rumours that his resentment stemmed from the Packers’ 2020 first-round selection of quarterback Jordan Love, expressing instead his annoyance at not having more say over personnel selections.
In an attempt to placate his valued asset, general manager Brian Gutekunst acquired his old teammate and close buddy Randall Cobb; it appears that Rodgers has responded favourably to his subsequent attempts as well.

With an 11-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Allen Lazard, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers becomes the team’s all-time passing touchdown leader.
In July, Rodgers consented to a revised deal that eliminated the 2023 season. This meant that he would not be able to be tagged after 2022 and would become a free agent if he played out the remaining two years, the second of which he was supposed to start in September.
“I feel like there was sincere decisions on both sides to meet in the middle and talk,” Aaron Rodgers stated following the Packers’ playoff loss to the 49ers. “It was from the day I got back (last summer).” “I’m grateful that I was able to participate in the discussions. I thought my viewpoint was important.”
Following offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett’s appointment as the Denver Broncos’ new head coach earlier this season, Rodgers played a significant role in the decision to bring Tom Clements to the position of quarterbacks coach for the Packers.
For Jordan Love, what now?
Though Rodgers has refuted rumours that his previous dissatisfaction was caused by the Packers’ choice to choose quarterback Jordan Love in the first round rather than equipping him with a different wide receiver. And little doubt he was telling the truth, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth.
Granted, the Packers were by no means understaffed compared to their opponents; after all, they may have believed that one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history could flourish with a worse roster than others. It was, however, the fact that they dared to consider living without him. Too soon, in fact.

The NFL International Series home clubs for the five regular season games in 2022—including the Green Bay Packers’ historic trip to London—are revealed by the Good Morning Football team.
After Rodgers was hit by Covid in November of last season, Love started in the 13-7 defeat to the then-limping Kansas City Chiefs offence, giving the Packers and LaFleur an unplanned look at him. As a result, Steve Spagnuolo’s defence launched a bloodthirsty, all-out blitz attack, and Love gave a wobbly, nervous, scary display. The company recognised that he was far from ready.
If Rodgers plays four more years, there may be zero more years of Love in Green Bay. If that turns out to be the case, it raises new concerns about the Draft choice itself.

Love’s rookie contract does, however, have appeal for clubs in need of a quarterback. These teams may not be drawn to the 2022 Draft or the free agency class, but they are willing to develop a player who has shadowed Rodgers in the hopes of finding a gem.
We provide another domino to the NFL offseason as the Rodgers domino falls. Jordan Love’s that…
