Before Aaron Rodgers ever signed a contract for the 2025 season, he announced to the world that he would “play for $10Ms” on The Pat McAfee Show. He ended up signing for more than that with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but one report indicates he lowered his own pay despite Pittsburgh being willing to offer more.
Bryant McFadden revealed some of his conversations with Rodgers at training camp on behalf of CBS Sports.
“It wasn’t about money because they are giving him around $13 million or something like that. And I got word that he actually could have gotten more, but that’s what he wanted,” McFadden said via 93.
