Aaron Rodgers turns down contract to become NFL’s highest paid player
Aaron Rodgers’ relationship with the Packers is far from fixed with the first-ballot Hall of Fame declining their offer to become the NFL’s biggest earner.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, A-Rod turned down a two-year extension, meaning he would have remained in TItletown until the end of the 2025 season.
Rumors persist that Rodgers wants to leave Milwaukee, with Denver spoken about heavily. The prospect no matter how unlikely, is an enticing one for Broncos Country who would have another game-wrecker to go with Von Miller and their stout defense.
It had been rumored Rodgers was offered a new deal by Green Bay, however Schefter’s revelation of the scale proves yet again the Packers and no.12 are a long way apart.
Many expect the reigning MVP to return to Green Bay and head up the Packers’ push for a first Super Bowl appearance since their 31-25 win over Pittsburgh in 2011.
Whatever happens, we know this isn’t about money for Aaron, this proves it more than anything thus far.
If Rodgers doesn’t make his way to Denver before the season, this saga may not have an end date.
Buckle up folks.
