Aaron Rodgers extension will make QB NFL's highest paid-player
TheeOSU
FUCK IT!
4 years, 200 million
Well I suppose he won't have to concern himself with higher gas and food prices.

And after Rodgers the other dominos are starting to fall, Russell Wilson to Denver...

scrub, ease up on yourself man, nobody accused your post of being fake.
Well at least my Niners don't have to see that fool twice, possibly three times in a season anymore. That fool straight up owned us.
I wonder if $200 million will get them a ring? Really other than the Rams is there any big threat in the NFC for the Packers in 2022-23? No wonder he didn’t jump to the Steelers. AFC has at least 2 potential contenders in each division, where are there like 4 teams total in the AFC that are tie contenders?
traded Wilson?
Ah fuck.
and @shailynn, big threats for the packers, well, the whole NFC West!!!
As shitty as the Seahawks record was last year, there's 6 games in their division and the rest all went to the playoffs.
Packer's got #1 seed and a bye weeks from those 6 games being gimme's. And then they couldn't beat the NFC West's 3rd place (49'ers), at home even!!!
Rodger's extension kinda spending buys a lot of defense...
Seems like everywhere in the league (except GB) there's some kinda QB drama. We'll see who can pull what outa the draft and then start trading. (and I'll bet Goff's itching to get outa Detroit and back at the Rams...)
That’s a complete fabrication pushed by the Boston media. They also have the market cornered on gritty, undersized white guys and are smarter than everyone else. It’s horseshit. Brady didn’t earn less. He deferred his money and got paid. Huge difference.
I didn’t do an exhaustive search but here are some comps:
Brady 22 seasons $292M
Brees 20 yrs $270M
Roethlisberger 18 yrs $267M
Aaron Rodgers 17 yrs $264M (and counting)
Peyton Manning 18 yrs $249M
He’s probably got a lower average than some guys who aren’t as good as he is, but it’s not this great sacrifice that always gets told and retold without any facts. I was always a Brady hater (more a Patriots hater) but fully agree he is the GOAT. I also really enjoyed rooting for him once he got to TB. The idea that the guy with model looks, a supermodel wife, multiple mansions and career earnings on the field in line with other similar players is still the same fat guy who was drafted 199th out of Michigan is a fable.

As opposed to Rodgers who made it clear he wanted to be the highest paid player in the NFL.
He's not "the best". Maybe you could skew how you rate individual QB performance to make him so, but as an individual, nope. If I had unlimited budget and no cap, wouldn't pick him.
But, he is good, and obviously understands the benefit of being surrounded by similar talent. And similarly seems interested in winning championships rather than singular goals of being the highest paid. It wasn't just him that showed up in Tampa ready to go for it.
Many of these guys get pretty darned excited about having the largest contract, even if it's a loosing year... I guess, they can't all be winners, and someone's gotta sell the home team's jerseys for the economics to all work out?
