Though there have been reports that Aaron Rodgers‘ decision to play for the Green Bay Packers has nothing to do with money, a report surfaced on Sunday morning that suggests Rodgers does have a price.
According to a report from Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, a league source had told him that a team that has (or had) interest in Rodgers during this offseason has divulged that the reigning MVP wants $90 million guaranteed over two seasons.
From Pro Football Talk:
Per a league source, it’s believed by at least one team that has (or had) interest in Rodgers that he wants $90 million guaranteed over two years. That would get him to the Patrick Mahomes $45 million high-water mark. With the $45 million average applying to only the first two years and with all of it guaranteed, the structure necessary to pay that kind of money would as a practical matter tie Green Bay’s hands through 2022 and potentially into 2023.
There were previous reports that the Packers offered Rodgers a mega-extension that would make him the highest-paid player in NFL history but that deal must not have included the $90 million guaranteed over the first 2 years.
Nation, will Aaron Rodgers report to training camp this week?
