Reports of Aaron Rodgers wanting $50 million per year are ‘categorically false’

Amid a new report that Aaron Rodgers wants $50 million per year on a new contract, Greg Jennings called the Green Bay Packers quarterback “selfish” during an appearance on Fox Sports’ First Things First on Friday.

“Aaron Rodgers has been a very selfish guy,” Jennings said. “I get it, he’s at the end of his career, and so it’s like, ‘Okay, I’m going to take whatever I can take.’ But you can’t do that and want to win. How are you going to try to win? I get it, guys got to look out for themselves. But in looking out for yourself, you cut out the legs of others- and understanding at this position, at the quarterback position, you cut out more than just a pair of legs, you cut out a few pair of legs. For me, this has contradicted what he’s saying he wants to do.”

Jennings, a former teammate of Rodgers, has been critical of Rodgers ever since retiring from the NFL in 2016. Jennings drew from personal experience when he made his comments about Rodgers.
