Sources: Aaron Rodgers declined Green Bay Packers extension offer that would have made him highest-paid QB

Aaron Rodgers turned down a two-year extension offer from the Green Bay Packers this offseason, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The deal, sources said, would have tied the reigning MVP to the Packers for five more seasons and made him the highest-paid quarterback in football.

Sources told Schefter in April that Rodgers does not want to return to the team because of issues he has with management. Despite his stance, the Packers have remained adamant that they will not trade the three-time MVP.

Since then, Rodgers has failed to show up to voluntary OTAs for the first time in his career.
