I know the QB contracts are not based on performance anymore. We have seen that with Rivers, Eli, Stafford etc. But boy that's a big contract.

 

[WinstonSmith]

Good for him, bad for the Packers. It takes a village of above average players to win the super bowl, not a great player and a bunch of village idiots.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I, uh, got a $100 bonus today for the last 6 months of grueling work. Beat that, Rodgers.

 

[Sicilian]

We're spoiled with Brady in more ways than one, it would seem.

 

[Sciz]

That’s $2 billion if he follows the Mychal Kendricks investment plan!

 

[Joey007]

Take your money Rodgers.

 

[jah]

That's...*types into SpeedCrunch* $33.5M a year. Holy ****. Wonder how much is guaranteed. Could it possibly be fully guaranteed?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Aaron Rodgers’ total deal: Six years, $174.8 million

It’s actually 29.1 million per season

I guess it's good for him, if his goal in life is to be the top paid guy his profession, rather than the most successful and legendary one. It's funny how Packers fans complain that the team can't build around him and make excuses for him, but he makes it virtually impossible for them to build much. It's not like there isn't a perfect example, a different number 12, of unselfishness and really showing your true motivation when it comes to winning within salary cap confines.

No discount on that double check...

You are lucky

Matter of time before someone lands on him, breaks his collarbone for the 3rd time, and takes him out of the game for good.... Packers are out $100M

 

[RobertWeathers]

Hope his collarbone isn't a frail as Romo's.

At 35 years old things happen.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Thats... a lot of money for a QB with durability issues

[fxmallon]

I suppose this does weaken the Packers a wee bit, but I'm still glad we play them at Home this year.

 

[captain stone]

Has the salary cap risen, and will it continue to rise, by so much that contracts like these don't become the albatrosses that they appear to be?
If not, then it's one stupid contract after stupid contract after stupid contract...

Teams win Super Bowls with elite players at the QB position, even when those players are getting paid high end money.

 

[chasa]

Reports that he's going to get over 80 million of that contract by march2019 is bonkers.
