Report: Aaron Rodgers wants INSANE amount of money from Packers!

Is he worth this much, even as NFL MVP?

The Green Bay Packers saw their great season come to a stunning end at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers, as the visiting squad shocked their hosts with a walk-off field goal as time expired to advance in the NFL postseason and send Green Bay into an uncertain offseason. 

Of course, speculation immediately began as to the future plans of potential 2021 NFL MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who's status to play the year with Green Bay was in doubt before he ultimately decided to take the field. Rodgers made headlines when it was reported that he had purchased property and was building a home outside of Nashville, leading many to believe that he could be gearing up to play for the Tennessee Titans. He's also been connected to the Denver Broncos. 

Whichever team he suits up for in 2022, he's apparently made his contract demands known - and he wants to be the highest paid player in the NFL. 

According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini: 

“From the conversations I’ve had with a lot of people in the league, he wants to be the highest-paid player in the NFL by a wide margin,” Russini said. “So we’re talking about $50 million a year. We know the cap situation the Green Bay Packers are in. We know Davante Adams needs to get paid. So there’s a lot on the table.”

During the 2021 season, Rodgers led the Packers to their third straight NFC North championship while registering 4,115 passing yards along with 40 touchdowns, four interceptions and 69.2 quarterback rating. 

Will he be worth $50 million at the age of 38?
