Aaron Rodgers will indeed play for the Green Bay Packers next season, but not at any price. The quarterback would become the highest-paid NFL player in history on Tuesday under a four-year, $200 million contract.
This salary of $ 50 million would thus be ahead of that of $ 45 million of Kansas City Chiefs pivot Patrick Mahomes. It would also be a big raise for Rodgers, 38, who earned $33.5 million last season.
According to the NFL Network, $ 153 million will be guaranteed to the one who has been named the best player on the circuit four times, including at the end of the last two campaigns.
Having made his debut in 2005, Rodgers went an incredible 449-93 with the Packers, the team that selected him 24th overall in the 2005 draft. He led the Wisconsin squad to top honors in 2010, allowing his family to win the fourth Super Bowl in their history.
In 2021, Rodgers made headlines due to his conflicting vaccine status. Although he lost his appeal after refusing to receive one of the three vaccines recognized by the NFL, the veteran only missed one meeting.
The American threw for 37 touchdowns against just four interceptions last year, amassing 4,115 passing yards. He also scored three majors by rush.
