Quarterback extends at Green Bay
:
Rodgers is getting $150 million for three years
Aaron Rodgers stays with the Green Bay Packers – and is handsomely rewarded for it. His new contract makes him the highest-paid player in the NFL.
As announced, quarterback Aaron Rodgers has signed a new contract with the Green Bay Packers from the US football league NFL. The highly complicated agreement guarantees the 38-year-old playmaker a salary of $150 million over the next three years.
This makes Rodgers the highest-paid player in the NFL based on annual income. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes held the record so far. The Kansas City Chiefs pay him $45 million annually. Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills (43 million) follows in third place, another quarterback.
Rodgers was originally still under contract with the Packers for the coming season. The new agreement is effective for an additional four years to limit the impact on the salary cap. For this reason, almost all of the guaranteed salary for the next three years will be paid out as a bonus.
