Fans consider Aaron Rodgers among the all-time greats of the NFL, and his various accolades have made him into a credible professional in the field. However, with such diverse receptions of the NFL fans over social media, the headline-making action didn’t impress all of them.
The Myriad Twitter-verse for Aaron Rodgers
Reports by Ian Rapoport have said that both sides have settled into a 4-year, $200M deal. WWE color commentator and show host Patt McAfee also announce that his good friend Rodgers will be back in the Green Bay franchise; However, the amount is undisclosed, but it will be a cap-friendly deal.
News of a “4 year $200,000,000 Million deal” is not accurate… according to my sources 🤷🏼♂️

NBA Analyst Tony Smith also gave his opinion and has his own set of doubts over the deal.
Why did you come back tho? Do you believe the Packers are going to give you the players you need to get over the hump? I have my doubts bro.

A fan is eager to see how the Packers can perform with Rodgers back in the fray. He also thinks that they can secure the deal with WR Davante Adams, and probably Randall Cobb as well.

Michael Salfino from The Athletic presents his reaction over Rodgers’ consideration for a retirement
"Retirement was a real consideration"…. Sure, buddy.

Moreover, a user was extremely upset over the fact that quarterback Jorda Love will be on the sidelines, and the Packers may have lost a loyal fan over this move; calling that no athlete is worth $200M
As a Packers fan I'm disappointed. I don't want a conspiracy theorist MAGA QB. I wanted Jordan Love to get a shot. I won't be watching next season. A loyal fan gone just like that. (Also, no athlete is worth $200m) @packers
