The Green Bay Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers are moving toward a resolution for a new contract extension that will make Rodgers the highest paid player in NFL history. That much came to light last week, yet recently, new details have emerged to illustrate just how close the two parties are to a deal. According to sources informed of the progress in the negotiations, the sides are roughly $2 million per year apart on their offers. The Packers' current contract offer is believed to average slightly more than $21 million per year, sources say, meaning Rodgers is a sure bet either way to eclipse the $20.6 million per year the Baltimore Ravens recently agreed to pay Joe Flacco. The two sides are also still haggling over how much money will come to Rodgers in the next two seasons, among other issues, per the terms of the current deal that runs out in 2014, Rodgers is set to earn $19.75 over those two years and that makes him underpaid based on his status and performance.

When your talking about Aaron Rodgers at this stage of his career...what's $2M?? Just pay the man...lol.
when it comes to Aaron Rodgers, you bow down and blow him. You don't piss him off with petty negotiations.
So glad that we passed on this douche canoe for Alex Smith. What a pain in the butt drama queen, so not worth dealing with his insane demands.
Alex had a better playoff winning % and went to more NFC Championship games than Rodgers. Regular season schmegular season, Alex got it done when it actually mattered, in the playoffs. Not like that choke artist Rodgers.
