[QUOTE="TJV, post: 495043, member: 4300"] [FONT=Arial]The Press Gazette quotes an nfl.com source saying the Packers and Rodgers are $2M/year apart, with the Packers currently offering a little more than $21M/year. If true, the deal will definitely be less than the $25M/year speculated about. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]It's been mentioned a lot about how underpaid (by NFL elite QB standards) Rodgers has been but I have heard him mention that for the first three years of his Packers career he was overpaid. I'm not saying it balances out - again by NFL standards - I'm just saying that's also part of the story. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]When the details on the Flacco deal came out, I was (foolishly) hoping Rodgers would sign a deal with $1 more guaranteed and $1 more overall.
