On a day filled with numerous reports, Aaron Rodgers has officially spoken out about what’s next for him in his career – clearing up any confusion that may have been caused throughout a wild day of NFL news.

Taking to Twitter on Tuesday afternoon, Rodgers confirmed that he is in fact returning to the Green Bay Packers, but he did make one thing clear in his post despite what has been reported: he has not agreed to a four-year, $200 million contract, as has been reported.

“Hey everyone, just wanted to clear some things up; YES I will be playing with the @packers next year, however, reports about me signing a contract are inaccurate, as are the supposed terms of the contract I “signed”. I’m very excited to be back #year18,” Rodgers wrote.

Now that Rodgers has announced that he’ll be back in Green Bay for the 2022 season, Packers fans can take a breath. As far as his new contract details go, the quarterback has ended all speculation that – for now, at least.

Rodgers’ record-setting deal with Packers already facing controversy

Not so fast, Green Bay fans. After NFL Network inside Ian Rapoport broke the news of Aaron Rodgers‘ blockbuster deal with the Packers, Pat McAfee shared a conflicting report. Rapoport and others claim that the quarterback’s deal is a four-year, $200 million agreement, with $153 million guaranteed. However, McAfee is now refuting that report.

“News of a ‘4 year $200,000,000 Million deal’ is not accurate… according to my sources (shrug emoji),” McAfee tweeted from The Pat McAfee Show account.

McAfee, a close friend of Rodgers, could be alluding to a difference in the reported deal and the actual language of the agreement. Either way, it’s clear the league MVP is staying with Green Bay moving forward. The popular show host shared himself, “HE’S BACK WITH THE PACK.” Aaron Rodgers is a frequent guest on the Pat McAfee Show and it’s where he chose to share updates during his COVID-19 vaccination controversy.
