Wisconsin’s long, statewide nightmare is apparently over.
Aaron Rodgers will reportedly sign a massive, four-year contract extension that will make him the NFL’s highest-paid player and keep him with the Green Bay Packers into his early 40s.
While the exact terms of the deal aren’t yet known, its purpose goes beyond just keeping a reigning back-to-back regular season MVP behind center. The Packers came into 2022 well over the league’s $208.2 million salary cap. Rodgers’ extension will reduce the $46.6 million cap hit he was scheduled to make next season, instead shifting that money to future budgets and creating the space needed to re-sign some vital pending free agents.
