Packers’ Aaron Rodgers contract move before trade that will pay him $107.55 million in 2024

New York Jets’ newest quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be playing on the minimum salary in 2023, but after the Green Bay Packers converted his 2023 option bonus to 2024 salary, he will be set for a big payday next season.

“It appears the Packers converted Aaron Rodgers’ $58.3M 2023 option bonus into 2024 salary, which means he’s scheduled to make $1.165M this year and $107.55M next year,” wrote ESPN’s Dan Graziano on Thursday.

“So he’d only count $1.165M against the Jets’ cap this year, and obviously they’ll restructure next year. Jets can also rework Rodgers’ deal THIS offseason, and I would expect that to happen so he’s not just playing on the minimum in 2023.”

From the looks of things, Rodgers will have his contract reworked to more reflect his value in 2023, and because of the Packers’ conversion, he will be getting paid handsomely next season as well.
