Aaron Rodgers was thinking more like Tom Brady than like Robin Hood when he took his unprecedented $35 million pay cut.
Rodgers is hoping that the Jets will redistribute that money to other NFL stars who become available over the next few months and express an interest in chasing a Super Bowl championship with him.
“This year, compared to like 2005, the amount of transactions that happen now with guys getting cut and the amount of trades — way more than before. Big names move at the trade deadline now,” Rodgers told NBCSports.com’s “Football Morning in America.” Rodgers reduced the money that he is owed in 2023 and 2024 from $110 million — as per the terms of his contract signed with the Packers — to a two-year, $75 million contract.He already is the highest-paid player in NFL history with $305.6 million in on-field earnings, according to Spotrac.
“I thought it was important they knew how committed I was. And in my conversations with Joe [Douglas], he has made it very clear the vision for the football team.”
