Packers Extend Deal With Aaron Rodgers Making Him Highest Paid Player In NFL


Rodgers is ready for another go with the Green Bay Packers.

Rodgers decided after nearly two months since the end of the season, the quarterback weighing alternatives of retirement or seeking to join another team via trade.


The quarterback is returning to the team after agreeing to a four-year, $200 million contract extension. The move brings a close to arguably the most tumultuous chapter of Rodgers' 17-year NFL career, the entirety of which has been spent with the Packers.

Given Rodgers' indications of his frustrations with general manager Brian Gutekunst and Packers brass, many assumed the 2021 season would be the quarterback's last in Green Bay.


After the top-seeded Packers were upset in the divisional round by the San Francisco 49ers, Rodgers acknowledged that he was considering all options for 2022, including retirement.


Rodgers praised the Packers after the season, thanking Gutekunst and the rest of the team's front office in his MVP acceptance speech.


With Rodgers back in the fold, the Packers will now turn their attention to maintaining the core of a franchise that has gone 39-10 over the past three years.
