18 months, two MVPs and 12 days of Panchakarma later, Aaron Rodgers got what he wanted all along: more money.
Going into the season, Rodgers was clearly unhappy with his situation in Green Bay. But the Packers gave him 153 million guaranteed reasons why he should finish his career with the team he started with.
Not only does this say a lot about how GB feels about Rodgers, but it’s a seeming indictment on Jordan Love, who the Packers front office traded up to draft in the first round.
Signing Rodgers also gave the team some much needed cap space. Perhaps opening up enough room for Green Bay to lock up the 10-time Pro Bowler’s favorite target, Davante Adams.
