GREEN BAY – If you’re a fan of the team in Wisconsin, Tuesday is a wonderful day. If you’re a fan of the NFL team from Illinois, it’s a little disappointing.
That’s because one of the greatest quarterbacks in Packers’ history is making a commitment to the team for the foreseeable future, free to once again torment the Bears as he’s done a number of times in his career.
Per reports from Pat McAfee and Ian Rapoport, Aaron Rodgers is returning to Green Bay on a four-year, $200 million contract. The deal makes the four-time MVP and Super Bowl XLV champion the highest player in NFL history with $153 million guaranteed, according to Rapoport, while also reducing the cap number for the Packers.
