The Detroit Lions aren’t getting rid of Aaron Rodgers anytime soon.
After drawing out his decision for a couple of months, Rodgers has reportedly decided to return to the Green Bay Packers for the 2022 season, as reported by Pat McAfee first. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network explained further, noting that Rodgers and the Packers have agreed upon a four-year deal worth $200 million. The move is expected to lower Rodgers’ cap hit for the 2022 season, which was at $46.7 million prior to the agreement.
For the second straight offseason, Rodgers had talked about moving on from a Packers team that hasn’t advanced beyond the NFC Championship game since 2010, despite back-to-back MVP performances from Rodgers.
