This offseason, the New York Jets traded several picks to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but there was still work to do on the financial side. In order to make the trade a reality, Rodgers agreed to move a $58.3 million option bonus to 2024 -- which meant that he would be owed more than $107 million in 2024, per Pro Football Talk. Monies had to be adjusted, and on Wednesday, Rodgers agreed to his new deal.

Per NFL Media, Rodgers has agreed to sign a two-year deal with $75 million guaranteed through 2024. Tom Pelissero notes that this new contract is technically a five-year deal, but includes two option years to spread out bonus proration. The 2023 cap number is reportedly just under $9 million, which gives the Jets some flexibility to build their roster.

Rodgers had nearly $110 million guaranteed on his old contract, and is taking a pay cut of $35 million to play for New York.

That's a lot of millions. Rodgers was at one time my favorite NFL player. It feels like he's actively tried to get fans to dislike him lately, but i'm still rooting for him. I think it'd be a great storyline to see the Jets do well this year.

And now Kelce is dating Swift? That seems like a Rodgers kind of thing—costly costly injury.

That’s a hell of a combination of gigantic universes I barely dabble in— Taylor Swift and the NFL. Now that Deion has been exposed I hope ESPN programs 22 hours a day on this. What’s the portmanteau for these guys?
