Jets picking up Aaron Rodgers’ $58.3 million option bonus, restructured contract expected

In an expected move, the Jets are picking up Aaron Rodgers’ $58.3 million option bonus for 2023, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Picking up the option was a formality, but there was some question as to whether the Packers would take on some of Rodgers’ salary this season. It looks like that will not be the case.

For his 2023 salary, the #Jets picking up Aaron Rodgers’ already guaranteed option bonus of $58.3M means that it converts to a signing bonus for cap reasons — creating $43.7M of cap space and making his 2023 hit $15.7M.
