News that Aaron Rodgers has agreed to return to the Green Bay Packers unleashed a flood of reaction on social media. And also memes. So many memes.
We've heard from salty fans of other franchises, Packers fans expressing delight (or consternation over the reported dollar amounts), players themselves responding (including one disappointed Broncos receiver) and those wondering about Jordan Love. Here are some of the best reactions, starting with one of Wisconsin's most beloved brands feigning concern for a fan base that hoped it would be landing Rodgers in a trade.

With Aaron Rodgers agreeing to an extension with the Packers, the good news is he’ll now be perfectly happy and will not find anything to complain about for the duration of the contract.

I never believed Aaron Rodgers wanted to deal with Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Jackson and Herbert over whatever Atari 2600 quarterback Detroit sends out there, Never Primetime Cousins and a young Chicago QB who had to convince his team to let him play after they moved up to get him.

Broncos receiver Jerry Jeudy expressed dismay after the news broke, though his sentiment apparently changed with news that the Broncos had traded for Russell Wilson.
