Aaron Rodgers seems to be laying the ground work on returning to the Green Bay Packers, but it will certainly cost them.
According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, Aaron Rodgers is expected to inform the Green Bay Packers of his decision soon.
From what Russini has heard, Aaron Rodgers wants to be the “highest-paid player in the NFL, by a wide margin.” Talking about $50 million per year.
“From the conversations I’ve had with a lot of people in the league, he wants to be the highest-paid player in the NFL by a wide margin,” Russini said. “So we’re talking about $50 million a year. We know the cap situation the Green Bay Packers are in. We know Davante Adams needs to get paid. So there’s a lot on the table.”
$50 million is a steep price to pay for a 38-year-old quarterback, but he is coming off two back-to-back MVP seasons. In 16 games, the future Hall of Famer had 4,115 passing yards, 37 touchdowns and just four interceptions.
Rodgers was named the NFL’s MVP for the second year in a row, leading the Packers to 13 wins for the third straight season. The Packers fell short of the Super Bowl in each of these seasons, most recently losing to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Rodgers said Tuesday on The Pat McAfee Show that he has not yet made a decision on his future:
“There will be no news today,” Rodgers said. “No decision on my future.”
If a decision is coming soon, it will likely come with an agreement on a new deal.
