Aaron Rodgers Demands Annual Re-negotiation Clause to Remain Highest Paid QB

Report: Aaron Rodgers wants opt-out clause in next contract

http://theredzone.org/Blog-Descript...Rodgers-wants-opt-out-clause-in-next-contract

Aaron Rodgers reportedly wants an opt-out clause inserted into his next contract according to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com.

Rodgers has repeatedly said that he wants to be a Green Bay Packer for life and that he plans to play into his 40's but he also wants to be the highest paid quarterback in the league. Garafolo says Rodgers is is seeking a clause that would allow him to renegotiate his deal whenever another quarterback tops his salary. While there is no doubt he has outgrown his current seven-year, $130.75 million contract which makes him only the 10th highest paid quarterback in the league and deserves a significant raise, demanding to be the highest-paid QB at all times does not seem realistic-particularly on a small market team like the Packers. And it is doubtful the Packers would be willing to give up that much leverage as Rodgers has two years left on his current deal and the team could theoretically use the franchise tag to control his rights for two seasons beyond that. The best solution for both sides may be for Rodgers to sign a short-term extension rather than the seven-year deal he signed back in 2013.

Hope he gets it.

He sounds like an arrogant asshole. I hope he bends the Packers over and signs a stupid expensive deal.

Since when has ever signing Rodgers been stupid? As long as he is with the Packer, the Bears are his bitch

LOL, I take back what I said. He hasn't changed at all since being drafted. Still arrogant as fuck.

 

[PrideisBears]

Good. Hope he gets it too

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

He’s earned it. I hope we have this same problem with mako Mitch in a few years

Why, because he’s trying to make a good business move. The NFL is a business, it’s so irksome that is “regular Joe’s” can’t relate to getting the most money he can at his job. And it’s not like he doesn’t deserve it, either.

It’s smart to start negotiations high.

That is more akin to Raskolnikov high than contract negotiations high.

But not the rest of the NFL.

I'm all for getting as much as you can, no doubt, but how much money does one person truly need? Also, why is it so important to be the highest paid all the time? How does that help the team? Seems he's more interested in that than the actual money and it doesn't make sense as to why when you can literally sleep on hundred dollar bills.

That Mako paints cars? :shrug:

WTF is a Mako Mitch...really?

That's it Aaron sow that dissent. You will be the "highest" paid and the rest of your fellow teammates will be wondering where your head is at

Maybe if Rodgers could marry the top male model he wouldn’t have to have a max deal every year. Until then he should demand top dollar every year. I only hope the Packers can still afford to surround him with the talent he deserves (see 2017 Bears recievers)

I think that would be highlarious if he just opted out every year after a QB got paid higher than him and made them restart the contract at a higher amount.

He should also demand that the Packers change their name from the “Greenbay Packers” to the “Greenbay Rodgers”

Sign for what you think is fair, and stop whining that you need more if someone else gets a higher salary. That's just ego, plain and simple. Sign a deal, or don't. If you want the highest salary every year, sign one year deals. Take the risk if you want the reward.
