Aaron Rodgers is planning to come back to the Green Bay Packers for an 18th season, a move that keeps the reigning MVP off the trade market and answers the question that had dominated NFL offseason discussions.

“Yes, I will be playing with the Packers next year,” Rodgers said. “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.”

NFL Network reported that the 38-year-old Rodgers had agreed to a four-year, $200 million contract that includes $153 million in guaranteed money. 

Rodgers’ decision comes a month after he won his second straight MVP award. The four-time MVP quarterback has spent his entire career in Green Bay.

The Seahawks have agreed to trade QB Russell Wilson to the Broncos. Seattle is reportedly receiving five draft picks: Two first-rounders, two second-rounders, and a fifth-rounder. Denver quarterback Drew Lock and defensive lineman Shelby Harris are also a part of the deal, along with tight end Noah Fant.

Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowler, will join forces with new Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett, who previously served as the Packers offensive coordinator. The duo will now face a stacked AFC West, which includes Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, Justin Herbert and the Charges, and Derek Carr and the Raiders.

The 33-year-old quarterback has long been the subject of trade rumors. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll had said at the NFL Scouting Combine that the team had “no intention” of making a move.

Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association reached a new  collective bargaining agreement, finally halting a 99-day owner-imposed lockout fraught with rampant tension and colored by heightened mistrust.

Twenty-six of the 38 union leaders voted in favor of a five-year CBA that saw its members make significant gains with regard to minimum salaries and the competitive balance tax threshold, among other areas. The 30 team owners ratified the deal by a unanimous vote, according to the league, finalizing a CBA that provided them with an expanded postseason field and the ability to place advertisements on uniforms.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, the face of pointed criticism from players throughout the process, said he “could not be more excited about the future of our game” and vowed to work more closely with MLBPA executive director Tony Clark with hopes of bridging a noticeable gap.
