The Packers did not specify the terms of the
contract but the NFL Network reported Rodgers, who has spent his
entire 17-year NFL career in Green Bay, would earn $150 million
over the next three years.
"We are very pleased to be able to come to an agreement with
Aaron that keeps him in Green Bay," Packers general manager
Brian Gutekunst said in a statement.
"His play on the field and leadership in our locker room remain
vital in our pursuit of another Super Bowl title. The agreement
also allows us to maintain and enhance what we feel is already a
very competitive roster."
The 38-year-old Rodgers was last month awarded his fourth NFL
MVP award and second in a row after a stellar 2021 season, when
he led the league with a 111.9 passer rating while throwing for
4,115 yards and 37 touchdowns.
The confirmation of Rodgers' contract extension comes two days
after seven-times Super Bowl winning quarterback Tom Brady ended
his brief retirement to announce his return to the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers for a 23rd NFL season.
