GREEN BAY, Wis. — Packers fans can finally rejoice. Aaron Rodgers is officially returning for the 2022, his 18th season with Green Bay, General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced Tuesday.

“We are very pleased to be able to come to an agreement with Aaron that keeps him in Green Bay,” said Gutekunst. “His play on the field and leadership in our locker room remain vital in our pursuit of another Super Bowl title. The agreement also allows us to maintain and enhance what we feel is already a very competitive roster.”

Rodgers has 449 career passing touchdowns, which is the fifth-most in league history.
