Step aside, Patrick Mahomes. Aaron Rodgers is officially the highest-paid player in the NFL.
This news comes after Rodgers signed a four-year, $200 million deal to remain with the Green Bay Packers.
When looking at numbers from an annual standpoint, Rodgers will be bringing in $50 million a year.
Mahomes most likely isn’t upset. He’s making $45 million a year on a ten-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.
