Aaron Rodgers' Packers contract is reportedly official, and the numbers are staggering [View all]
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.
