"Aaron Rodgers won MVP & $200M after getting canceled" - NFL fans react to Aaron Rodgers' massive new contract with Packers

The drama around Aaron Rodgers and the uncertainty of whether he will remain at the Green Bay Packers is finally over after news was released on Tuesday night that the quarterback had signed a new contract keeping him at Lambeau Field.

According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, the deal is allegedly a four-year $200 million contract extension, with $153 million guaranteed. However, conflicting reports emerged surrounding the amount, with Pat McAfee, who is close to the quarterback, revealing that the contract details were inaccurate.

McAfee wrote on Twitter:

"News of a '4 year $200,000,000 Million deal' is not accurate… according to my sources."

Regardless of the finer details of the new contract, the announcement alone sent the NFL world into a frenzy, with fans of the NFL reacting to the news.

A Sports Enterprise reporter for the Washington Post, Michael Lee, believes Rodgers has beaten "cancel culture," referring to the quarterback wearing a hoodie with the phrase "cancel culture" crossed out.

NFL Memes took a humorous approach, stating the Packers' quarterback had agreed to a new, lucrative deal just to choke in the playoffs.

Barstool Sports posted a hilarious response to the news, using a 13-second clip of Star Trek actor Jonathan Frakes saying phrases like "It's a made-up tale" and "It's fiction" in reference to 2021 being Rodgers' "Last Dance."

Twitter user Big Golden Nuggets used a clip from FS1's Undisputed to illustrate backup quarterback Jordan Love's reaction to the news. It does bring up the issue of what the Packers intend to do with Love after drafting him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

NFL on CBS posted a picture of Rodgers looking up at a bear, a sad Detroit Lions fan, and a Minnesota Vikings fan with their hands on their head to display the state of the NFC North after news of the extension.

Evan Sowards trolled the Packers quarterback and wrote that the contract extension shows that Rodgers is not done losing to the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs.

Finally, Fantasy Footballers podcast host, Andy Holloway, shared a picture of Packers backup quarterback Jordan Love and what he will look like when he makes his debut.

Despite his shortcomings in the post-season over the past couple of years, Rodgers was named the back-to-back MVP in the league in 2021 and 2020. There's no doubt he can take Green Bay to the playoffs, but questions remain of his performances when he gets there.

News also broke that the Packers are placing the franchise tag on star wide receiver and favorite target for Rodgers, Davante Adams, which will aid their cause next season.
