"Green Bay is putting its money where its mouth is, agreeing with the 38-year-old Rodgers on a four-year extension worth $200 million, including $153 million in guaranteed money, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday. The deal makes Rodgers the highest-paid player in NFL history on an annual basis while also reducing his salary-cap number for 2022.

The latter detail is especially important to Green Bay's chances of victory in the upcoming season. Green Bay was over the cap by roughly $26 million, and Rodgers' existing deal accounted for a cap number of $46.6 million in 2022, making retaining receiver Davante Adams quite a challenge. With Rodgers' new, lower cap number now factored in, Green Bay can place the franchise tag on Adams before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, which Rapoport reported is what the Packers are expected to do."

And still might not win another Super Bowl.   Karen is a very expensive choker.

Funny because Brett favre did the exact same diva shite for years to this team.  He never got that 2nd ring either.

$153M is guaranteed?  Holy cow.  They're gonna stink for a long time.  They best hope they win it all next season because it's gonna be a long time before they will contend again.

Looks like a bunch more of regular season wins, and a bunch more playoff losses, for GB over the next four years.
