Aaron Rodgers, Packers near agreement for return that could pave way for departure in 2022

The reigning MVP appears to have worked out a deal to play in Green Bay in 2021

The Green Bay Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers are nearing an agreement on a reworked deal that will keep the quarterback in Green Bay for the 2021 season, per NFL Media's Ian Rapoport. CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora has confirmed the report. Rodgers is expected to report for camp once the deal has been finalized.  What does this mean for Fantasy? Well, the gang's back together, for 2021 at least! Adams is locked in as the No. 1 WR for Fantasy now that Rodgers is back in the fold, and Aaron Jones belongs in the top 10 among all RB -- and you can make a good case he deserves to be even higher than that. He's a perfectly viable first-round pick after scoring 30 touchdowns over the last two seasons and averaging 1,094 rushing yards and 48 catches in that span.    ESPN's Adam Schefter adds that the deal will void the 2023 season from Rodgers' current contract and the franchise tag may not be used in future years. Green Bay also agrees to review his situation following the upcoming campaign, which could lead to his speculated departure. CBS Sports' Joel Corry notes that by voiding the 2023 season, Green Bay is committing to trade him or redoing his deal. Otherwise, the NFC franchise would be allowing him walk in free agency for a third-round compensatory selection. The agreement also allows the Packers to potentially mend some fences with the veteran over the next year and certainly evaluate 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love longer.
