Aaron Rodgers: Yes, I'll be staying with Packers. No, it's not a record deal
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he will return to play for the team next season but denied reports of signing a record-breaking contract extension.
Multiple reports said Rodgers had agreed a new four-year $200 million deal that will see him become the highest paid player in NFL history.
However, Rodgers wrote on Twitter that while he will remain with Green Bay next season, reports detailing a new contract were wide of the mark.
"Hey everyone, just wanted to clear some things up; YES I will be playing with the Packers next year," Rodgers wrote.
"However, reports about me signing a contract are inaccurate, as are the supposed terms of the contract I 'signed'. I'm very excited to be back."
