Packers ink Rodgers to record breaking new deal
Aaron Rodgers is now the highest paid player in NFL history thanks to the new 4-year, $134M extension he signed with Green Bay earlier today. The deal is on top of the remaining two years left on his current contract. In total, $100M in guaranteed money, $33.5M per year over four years. This new deal also means that Rodgers will play as a Packer until he’s at least 40.
The deal makes it the richest contract in NFL history as well. Likely $176M-180M total over the next four years for Rodgers. $67M before the end of the calendar year, over $80M before St. Patrick’s Day, & $103M practically guaranteed. The deal also frees up $15.4M in cap space for possible future free agent pickups. All told, this was a great move by both Green Bay & Rodgers. They can both now focus on getting ready for the regular season opener against Chicago on September 9th without any distractions. Rodgers earned every penny of this new deal & I along with everyone else in Packer nation am very happy they got it done when they did.
