“ NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported the contract's full details Thursday evening: in 2021, Rodgers will earn a $6.8 million roster bonus (from March), $14,464,706 signing bonus and $1.1M base salary, totaling $22,364,706. In 2022, he'll earn a $26,470,588 salary and $500K workout bonus for a grand total of $26,970,688. The signing and March roster bonuses both will be paid out over the 2021 season.
Pelissero added that Green Bay will save roughly $10 million in 2021 cap space.
The new contract, which includes same total compensation he would’ve received each year under his old deal, will void on the seventh day prior to the 2023 league year. The franchise tag window closes one day before that, meaning Rodgers is untaggable after 2022. If he plays out the next two years, he’d become a true free agent.”

There was speculation that Rodgers

would demand a trade after this season, but this deal makes the cap hit $46 Mill. Oof.

I figured it was about the money and it turns out it wasn't even that, just wanted to feel like they gave a shit with a bit of security along with it. Best QB in the league making very little in the grand scheme of things.
