Aaron Rodgers' Packers contract is reportedly official, and the numbers are staggering

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The contract between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers has been signed, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

Pelissero and Rapoport tweeted details of the contract, including yearly salary, and the numbers are staggering.

That's over $150 million for Rodgers over three years, with nearly $75 million guaranteed at signing. By yearly average, this makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history. He also has two "dummy years" in his contract, which Rapoport reports will have to be redone if he continues playing past 2024.

There are conflicting details out there, though. ESPN's Adam Schefter said Tuesday morning on "Get Up" that the deal is "year to year," meaning that the Packers will have to address it again next year.

To use an overused but apt word in the case, is that sustainable?

1. If Davante Adam's wants to know why the Packers can't pay him to be the highest paid WR....

He should talk to the guy throwing him the ball.

Unless he would rather have Jordan Love throwing it, or playing 2 vs 11.

2. It's an interesting conundrum

because Adams is the only receiver that Rodgers really trusts. And yet Aaron left so little in the Packers' bank to pay one of -- if not the best receiver in football today.

5. Lol

Maybe we should just waive the OL and sign guys off the street for the NFL minimum.....

We'll see how long into the season Rodgers lasts before getting injured.

3. I don't get the fascination with this dude.

He’s a good player but highly overrated in my opinion. He always comes up small in the big moments.

12. He's an incredibly good QB.

He has basically carried a dumpster fire of a team to the NFC championship WAY more times than they should have been there. Absent him, they are hot garbage. Adams isn't even near the top of WR without Rodgers. Hell, on the Vikings, I'd say Adams would have been WR3 last year with a healthy Theilen and Jefferson.

4. Obscene. Just obscene. It's a game, for goodness sake. It doesn't even have any real social value.

Just entertainment.

9. I don't mind. Only a few get this type of money

Out of 330 million Americans, only 30 might make this much. Only the best can get this.

6. So he'll be happy now?

[True Dough]

7. YES!!!

Until the coach looks at him cross-eyed.

10. New example #1 of why we need to tax the rich - now. n/t

11. That's so Republican of him. He gets his, but screw everyone else...

When the team goes down the shitter when they can hold on to the receivers, offensive line, and the defense to back him up, he’ll be whining.

I just hope he doesn’t get “Theismann’d” due to lack of protection.

13. My worst nightmare......he getting hurt and out of football.....🤬 🤬 🤬
