Source: QB Aaron Rodgers returning to play for Green Bay Packers

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The beautiful mystery tour will continue. Aaron Rodgers is not done with the Green Bay Packers just yet, and now there really is a chance the four-time NFL MVP finish his career in the same place it started.

Rodgers has decided he will return to the Packers for the 2022 season, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The sides are working on a new contract that would lower his salary-cap figure for the 2022 season while giving Rodgers, 38, contractual clarity well into his 40s.

The news of Rodgers' return was first reported by NFL Network.
