The wait to see if Aaron Rodgers finally does indeed agree to join the New York Jets has been a long and sometimes painful one. But the sense is the wait will be worth it in the end and Wednesday could bring some light at the end of the tunnel. It may even be the end of the tunnel.
There are two reasons for this. First, Wednesday marks exactly one year since Rodgers signed his most recent contract extension with the Packers that included the nearly $60 million in compensation for 2023 that has become famous over the past few weeks. That’s key because per the rules in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (Article 13, Section 8), “the contract of a Veteran Player may not be renegotiated to increase the Salary to be paid to the player during the original terms of the contract for a period of twelve months.”
