It’s official. Aaron Rodgers has signed a new contract with the Packers, setting him up to return to Green Bay next season.
After conflicting reports about whether or not the reigning MVP had inked his deal last week, the extension became official on Tuesday morning. It will make Rodgers the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
Rodgers’s new contract will reportedly pay him $150.8 million over the next three years, for an average of just over $50 million per year. The first two years of the extension are fully guaranteed at signing, and are due to pay him $42 million in 2022 and just north of $59.5 million in 2023.
