Former Cal star Aaron Rodgers reportedly wants the Packers to rework his contract to make him the highest paid player in the NFL, something around $50 million a year. On Friday Rodgers called the report "categorically false."
ESPN's Dianna Russini made the comments about Rodgers' contract requests during "The Rich Eisen Show" on Thursday. It's not clear whether that would be what it would take for Rodgers to decide to stay with the Packers, or if that is his salary expectation for whatever team he plays for next season.
"He wants to be the highest-paid player in the NFL by a wide margin, so we're talking about $50 million per year," Russini said on 'The Rich Eisen Show.
