Aaron Rodgers has spent two offseason now debating retirement, staying with the team, or demanding a trade to another team. It seems the Packers have worked with the star quarterback enough to keep him happy and on the roster for at least a few more seasons. Green Bay still has a few more offseason decisions to make, but the biggest domino by far has fallen in favor of the team.

It seems that retirement was a serious consideration for the multiple-time MVP, but ultimately the Packers did enough to lure him back to Lambeau Field for a few years. Capturing another Super Bowl is the ultimate goal for both sides.
