With Day 2 of free agency (mostly) in the books…
I spent probably two hours looking at the Aaron Rodgers contract on Tuesday morning and came to two conclusions. One, the fact that I haven’t taken a math class since high school has had its effects. Two, the contract proves, once again, that you can make numbers say whatever you want. Here’s the broad strokes of the deal, for those who haven’t seen it yet:
- 2022: $1.15 million base, $40.8 million roster bonus.
- 2023: $59.465 million base.
- 2024: $49.25 million base.
- 2025: $15.85 million base, $5 million option bonus.
- 2026: $10 million base, $5 million option bonus.
