Rodgers has 58.3m guaranteed on his 2023 option and 47m guaranteed on his 2024 option.That said I think that's a particularly selective way of framing the argument and one that is not terribly meaningful IMO. Surely you would agree that the amount a player *actually* counts against the cap in a given year is more meaningful/impactful on a team's year-to-year operations, no?2023 cap hit:1. Deshaun Watson 54.9m2. Dak Prescott 49.1m3. Patrick Mahomes 46.8m4. Josh Allen 39.8m5. Ryan Tannehill 36.6m6. Kirk Cousins 36.3.7. Laremy Tunsil 35.21m8. Matt Ryan 35.2m9. Tom Brady 35.1 (of course, no more)10. Leonard Williams 32.3m11. Aaron Rodgers 31.6m2024 cap hit:1. Michael Thomas 59.4m2. Deshaun Watson 55m3. Dak Prescott 52.1m4. Kyler Murray 51.9m5. Matthew Stafford 50m6. Patrick Mahomes 44.3m7. Derek Carr 43.9m8. Josh Allen 41.8m9. Aaron Rodgers 40.7mIt's not until 2025 that Aaron Rodgers becomes the highest-paid in the league by cap hit and I think we all know he'll be long gone before it comes to that.So, yes, if you limit your scope solely to "most guaranteed money in the next two seasons" then sure, technically Rodgers is the highest-paid. But practically speaking? Not really.</blockquote>
