Rodgers confirmed the contract was addressed on
Wednesday before multiple reports detailed the fully guaranteed
contract covers the next two seasons at a reduced rate.
Rodgers turns 40 in December, and the four-time MVP signed a
three-year deal with the Packers before the 2022 season. The
$150.8 million contract with the Packers included a $40.8
signing bonus and was fully guaranteed at an average of $50.2
million per year.
The deal signed Wednesday represents the second contract
adjustment with the Jets since he was traded from the Green Bay
Packers.
Before Wednesday, Rodgers' amended contract called for a salary
of $1.165 million for 2023 before jumping to $107.55 million in
2024, which included an option bonus of $58.3 million.
