Aaron Rodgers has made the choice to remain with the Green Bay Packers. A series of events helped him make his decision.

Rumor had it that 12 NFL teams expressed an interest in Rodgers when he announced he was possibly looking for a change of venue for his weak personality and his strong arm back in early 2022.

The field has been narrowed considerably since then and the signing of Russell Wilson by the Denver Broncos removed that most likely option.

In spite of playing for the Pack for 17 success-filled years, a Super Bowl win, 4 MVP years, multitudes of loyal fans in Green Bay and a few others scattered around the country — he appears unhappy.

Most of his loyal supporters have forgiven him for: his Big COVID Lie, the bashing of teammates, his wooden smiles and scripted speeches claiming appreciation the vox populi of the good folk of Green Bay, the ubiquitous State Farm Commercials (cut down to Aaron’s appearing in 25% televised before his Big COVID Lie to 1.5% after), the wholesome new youthful corduroy wardrobe in direct contrast to his greasy dyed hair, his numerous ambiguous romantic encounters, his hosting of Jeopardy and his approach-avoidance desire to leave Green Bay.

Sing No Sad Songs for Aaron:

Rodgers has a new agreement with the Green Bay Packers to sign a contract to likely spend the rest of his career in Titletown. He will most probably put his name on the dotted line before March 16th (the 2022 League Year when the Free Agency and Trading Period begins) on a 4-year contract worth $50,000,000 a year: the most money ever paid to an NFL player.

Rodgers’s estimated that his net worth is roughly $120,000,000. The 10th wealthiest football player to have ever played in the NFL according to Forbes Magazine.

Interestingly, Aaron is only 1 of 2 players still playing, all quarterbacks. Russell Wilson his competition for the Broncos QB position, came in at #8 with a net worth of $135,000,000.

Roger Staubach, the retired Cowboy great, tops the list with a net worth of over $600,000,000 most of which was realized when he sold his real estate development business in 2008.

Rodgers is, however, the only player, present or former, to agree to sign a 4-year contract for $50,000,000 a year.

Will $120,000,000 plus the prospect of an additional $50,000,000 a year for doing what he loves and allowing him to be in the only place in which he seems to be comfortable, Lambeau Field, ultimately bring Aaron Rodgers satisfaction?

Maybe not, but it can certainly buy him a plane, luxury car and yacht he can use to travel around and look for it.
