GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The beautiful mystery tour will continue. Aaron Rodgers is not done with the Green Bay Packers just yet, and now there really is a chance the four-time NFL MVP will finish his career in the same place it started.

Rodgers has decided he will return to the Packers for the 2022 season, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The sides are working on a new contract that would lower his salary-cap figure for the 2022 season while giving Rodgers, 38, contractual clarity well into his 40s.

Pat McAfee and NFL Network were first to report news of Rodgers' return to Green Bay.

Most MVP Awards

Aaron Rodgers won his fourth MVP after last season, joining Peyton Manning as the only four-time winners of the award since The Associated Press began handing out the honor in 1957.

"I feel like I'm at the place relationally with the Packers -- in a really good place, especially with Brian and the way our friendship and trust has grown," Rodgers said Jan. 25 on "The Pat McAfee Show." "Brian and I have had good conversations throughout the year, and when it comes time to make a decision, we'll have a conversation and that'll be that. It won't be a long, drawn-out process. "

It means Jordan Love, who is entering his third NFL season, will have to wait at least another year before he gets a crack at the starting job. Rodgers sat for three seasons behind Brett Favre before he took over.

It was Gutekunst's decision to draft Love in 2020 that put Rodgers' future with the team into question. Shortly after the Love pick, Rodgers reiterated his desire to not only play into his 40s but to do it with the Packers. However, he said he realized that "may not be a reality at this point" and added, "I'm just not sure how that all works together at this point."

The unfiltered year of Aaron Rodgers

Late in the 2020 season, Rodgers called his future a "beautiful mystery" and shortly after the NFC Championship Game loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers included himself in a group of players with uncertain futures.

What followed was an offseason-long boycott -- he missed workouts, organized team activities and minicamp -- during which ESPN reported that Rodgers was so disgruntled with the Packers that he told some in the organization that he would never play for them again.

Upon his return to the team on the eve of training camp, Rodgers signed a restructured contract that eliminated the last year of his deal, for the 2023 season, making it easier for a divorce after the 2021 season

The Packers have won 13 games each of the past three seasons but, with their combined 39 wins, set the NFL record for most wins in a three-season stretch without reaching at least one Super Bowl.

Last season, Rodgers broke Favre's franchise record of 442 career touchdown passes, finishing the season with 449. Depending on how much longer he plays, Rodgers has a chance to break several of Favre's other records, including career passing yards.

Rodgers' 2021 season also was marked by COVID-19 controversy, when he was accused of misleading the public about his vaccination status by saying in August that had been "immunized." Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 3, at which point it became known that he had not received one of the three league-approved vaccinations but instead had appealed -- and lost -- his bid to be considered vaccinated against the coronavirus because of an alternate treatment he underwent.

Still, Rodgers had one of his most efficient seasons, with 37 touchdowns and only four interceptions. He missed one game, a loss at the Kansas City Chiefs, because of his mandatory quarantine as an unvaccinated player, but it did not prevent the Packers from earning the top seed for the NFC playoffs.

When Rodgers signed his then-record $134 million contract extension in August 2018, he said: "I don't think this guarantees anything other than maybe the first three years of the deal."
