Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Deal in the works

The Packers and Rodgers are still working out a new deal that will keep him with the team in 2022, while lowering the quarterback's salary cap hit for the coming season in the process, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Though Rodgers confirmed Tuesday that he will indeed play for Green Bay in 2022, he indicated that a new contract has yet to be finalized. Moreover, Rodgers suggested that a previous report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network outlining the terms of the looming agreement weren't accurate. In any case, the star signal-caller will be back for another season with the team that drafted him in 2004. Rodgers will also be in line to continue throwing to his favorite target in Davante Adams, who received the team's franchise tag Tuesday.
