While Aaron Rodgers pushed back on rumors last week that he'd officially signed a new deal to remain with the Green Bay Packers, he did assure fans that he wouldn't be suiting up for another NFL team. 

But now, the contract has officially been signed, and Rodgers will once again be paid very handsomely for his services. The deal is for four years, running through 2026 and averaging $50 million over the first three years. 

"We are very pleased to be able to come to an agreement with Aaron that keeps him in Green Bay," said Packers GM Brian 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."

Per multiple reports, Rodgers will be paid a total of $42 million in 2022, followed by $59.515 million in 2023 and then $49.3 million in 2024. Oh, and $150.6 million of the deal is guaranteed. 

However, his salary cap number has been reduced to a *mere* $28 million (down from $46 million), giving his team more flexibility.
