Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (12) celebrates his rushing touchdown during the fourth quarter of the Green Bay Packers’ 24-14 win at Soldier Field in Chicago on Sunday, Oct. 17, 2021. He shouted at fans “I own you, I still own you.” Those comments went viral.

At one point it appeared he was willing to give up his stake in the Bears and leave the Green Bay Packers via trade or retirement.
Now it appears the four-time NFL MVP quarterback might be coming back to the Green Bay Packers.
It is not exactly the news many Chicago Bears fans were hoping to hear. Chicago Bears nation was hoping to see Rodgers not in a Packers uniform during the 2022 season. The Green Bay Packers were supposed to suffer in their post-Rodgers era.
Getting a glimpse at quarterback Jordan Love’s play may have convinced Green Bay’s front office to put off the suffering for another season or two.
The Packers are prepared to offer Aaron Rodgers as much money as it takes to get him to return to the green and gold.
Packers are prepared to go all in for Aaron Rodgers in 2022, spending as close to the cap this year and spreading it into future years as much as possible, per sources. Saints used this approach for Drew Brees and Green Bay willing to deploy that model to further entice Rogers.

There is a good chance a Rodgers return to Green Bay happens. Rodgers said his fractured relationship with the Green Bay front office has been repaired.
When he spoke after winning his MVP, Rodgers sounded more like he is choosing between retiring and coming back to the Green Bay Packers.
The Green Bay Packers are in a salary-cap crunch, but they have a path to keep both Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams-who could also make a claim he owns the Chicago Bears.
Call it a feeling, but Aaron Rodgers is coming back to Green Bay and bringing DaVante Adams with him.
I’m no Cap Calculator wizard, but I extended Rodgers & Jaire Alexander, cutting both Smiths and Cobb, & ended up with enough money to franchise Adams and sign the draft class ? pic.twitter.com/8pmryIeyGk

Although one former Green Bay Packers executive is not convinced Aaron Rodgers will return to Green Bay.
Re questions on Aaron: yes, sticking with view that he will separate from Packers. I know: he’s playing great and likes the front office more. But it is where I am.
Last year I said he would be back when many said he wouldn’t.
Now I maintain he won’t be back as many say he will.

Andrew Brandt was the Packers salary cap guru during Rodgers’ rookie season. He knows a thing or two about how the Packers operate. Going through the public channels is not something the Packers ever do.
