Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has officially signed a new contract with the Green Bay Packers that will take his career earnings halfway to the billion-dollar mark.
The deal is a four-year extension that pays roughly $150 million during the first three years, according to multiple reports. The last two years serve as “placeholders” to help lower Rodgers’ salary cap figures. His 2022 cap number drops by nearly $20 million.

The deal is on par with the other top QB contracts. The Bills’ Josh Allen has the biggest guarantee in the sport at $150 million, while the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes has the NFL’s highest average annual salary at $45 million.
