Aaron Rodgers is returning to the Green Bay Packers for 2021. That’s the upshot of the news coming out of Green Bay on Monday, the day before the team’s players were set to report for training camp.
According to multiple media sources, Rodgers and the Packers have worked out an agreement to ensure his return for the upcoming football season. Rodgers, whose contract currently runs through 2023 but with no remaining guaranteed money, will have that final year effectively erased from the contract. The 2023 year will void and the Packers will agree not to use a franchise tag on him, making him a free agent if he is still under contract with the team at the end of the 2022 season.
