Hammer in Green Bay! Aaron Rodgers confirms Packers return – contract figures “inaccurate”

Aaron Rodgers will also play for the Green Bay Packers next season. However, the contract numbers being bandied about are “inaccurate. “

Green Bay/Munich – Long speculated, now Aaron Rodgers has made his decision. The reigning NFL MVP will remain with the Green Bay Packers.

The quarterback now confirmed this via Twitter and addressed a word to his fans.

Rodgers likely to sign four-year deal

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the quarterback is also expected to sign a four-year, long-term contract with a salary of $200 million. This would make him the highest-paid player in NFL history.

However, Rodgers wrote in his tweet that the speculated contract details were “inaccurate” as were alleged terms surrounding the deal.

The fact is, the new contract will likely lessen his cap space burden next season.

It will now make it easier for Green Bay to retain key players. Thus, an extension for star receiver Davante Adams seems only a matter of time. However, the franchise will likely franchise tag him first.

The decision was reportedly not an easy one for Rodgers. Both a retirement and a trade to the Denver Broncos were in the realm of possibility. In the end, however, the 38-year-old decided to stay in his home country.

Rodgers has played for the Packers since 2005 and has not played for any other NFL franchise during that time.

In 2010, he won his only Super Bowl to date. In total, Rodgers has been named MVP four times.
