NFL | Rodgers signs new mega

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has signed a new contract with the Green Bay Packers from the US football league NFL as announced. The highly complicated arrangement guarantees the 38-year-old playmaker a salary of $ 150 million (136.55 million euros) for the next three years. Rodgers is thus measured at the annual income for the highest paid player of the NFL. The record has held Quarterback Patrick Mahomes so far. He pays $ 45 million in the Kansas City Chiefs annually. In third place follows with Josh all of the Buffalo Bills (43 million) another quarterback. Rodgers was originally under contract at the packers for the coming season. The new agreement is actually applicable for another four years to limit the impact on salary CAP's salary cap. For this reason, the guaranteed salary for the next three years is almost completely paid out as a bonus.
