Aaron Rodgers Reportedly Took $35 Million Pay Cut With the New York Jets After Green Bay Packers Exit
usmagazine.comAaron Rodgers‘ move from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets comes with a big change — a pay cut.The professional quarterback, 39, signed a restructured two-year contract with his new team which guarantees him a $75 million paycheck, according to NFL Network and ESPN.
The amount, however, is $35 million less than what Rodgers would have earned if he finished his 4-year-deal with the Packers, which had $110 million remaining in the contract.“The team gave up significant pieces for it to be just a one-year deal.
