Aaron Rodgers is one of the most talented quarterbacks of all time. The former Green Bay Packers quarterback has been dominating the sport for almost two decades. After spending 18 years in Green Bay, the talented QB will test his talents in the Big Apple as the Packers have traded the star QB to the New York Jets recently.

Rodgers was drafted by the Packers as the 24th overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. During his first 3-years in Green Bay, Rodgers rarely saw game time as he sat behind the legendary QB Brett Favre and learned the game. Aaron Rodgers took over the starting QB job in 2008 and never looked back.

In his 15-year-long stint as the starting quarterback of the Packers, Rodgers has received 10 Pro Bowl nods, has been named to the first-team All-Pro squad 4 times, and has won 4 league MVPs. Additionally, he has also led the Packers to one Super Bowl championship. Recently, the 6’2″ signal-caller won the league MVP in consecutive seasons in the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

His last season with the Packers in 2022 was disastrous as he failed to lead his team to a playoff appearance. But the QB is now ready to bounce back from it as he’s preparing to lead a stacked New York Jets team to a deep postseason run in 2023. In this article, we’ll take a look at Aaron Rodgers’ current and previous contracts and salary details of his career so far.

After a trade buzz for most of the off-season in 2022, the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers reached a middle ground on a 3-year contract extension worth up to $150 million, which made Rodgers the highest-paid NFL player at the time with an annual average salary of over $50 million. Despite that extension, the Packers eventually ended up trading the 10-time Pro Bowl QB to the NY Jets in the 2023 off-season. The Jets are expected to inherit Rodgers’ previous contract.
