Multiple sources on Tuesday reported Aaron Rodgers will stay with the Green Bay Packers, ending speculation about his future with the team.
The terms of the deal are not clear as of midday Tuesday. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and FOX Sport’s Jay Glazer both reported the deal is worth $50 million per year over four years. Wisconsin Public Radio also reports Rodgers would see a guaranteed $153 million and up to $200 million if those terms are accurate.
Pat McAfee, who regularly has Rodgers on his podcast, broke the news Tuesday morning that the Packers reached a deal to keep the quarterback in Green Bay. But McAfee also sent a Tweet claiming Rapoport and Glazer’s numbers are not accurate.
Four-time MVP Rodgers, 38, was drafted in 2005 by Green Bay and became the starting quarterback in 2008. The team won the Super Bowl in the 2010 season but has struggled in post-season play in recent years.
Bally Sports reports the deal would allow Green Bay to save some cap room and perhaps eventually sign wide receiver Davante Adams to an extension.
