Now that Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are officially staying with the Green Bay Packers, the team is officially ready to go. There were serious concerns about the future with Rodgers moving now. But the back-to-back MVP is staying in Green Bay keeps the team relevant.

The Packers' public ownership makes them one of the most unique teams in the four major American sports. The drama they have endured with Rodgers only adds to the craziness. With that drama now solved, Green Bay can go back to business with building its team.
Last season, the Packers posted the best record in the NFL. They fell in just their first playoff game to the San Francisco 49ers. The early exit left the team in a state of concern over Rodgers. After making it seem like he would leave after this season regardless of what happened, the devastating defeats seemed to ensure it. But he ultimately played the franchise like a fiddle and now he is ready to take another shot at the Super Bowl with the place he has called home for well over a decade.
With the unstoppable Rodgers-Adams duo back in the fold, the Packers should be favorites again to take the NFC title.
