Aaron Rodgers is guaranteed to make a lot of money in Green Bay.
The Green Bay Packers Quarterback will make about $150 million in guaranteed money over the first three years of his new deal with the Green Bay Packers, according to a copy of the contract obtained by ESPN.
Rodgers signed the deal Tuesday after announcing last week, amid widespread speculation about his future, that he would return to the Packers.
Aaron Rodgers’ new deal is three years, $150 million – but that’s including this year that he already had. So in actuality, it’s really a two-year, $124 million extension.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero provided a full breakdown of the guaranteed money involved:
On first read of #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers' new contract, he gets:
$42 million in 2022
$59.515M in 2023
$49.3M in 2024So that's $150.815M over the next three years, and the first two are fully guaranteed at signing.

Rodgers new contract could potentially make him the highest-paid player in the NFL, surpassing Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ $45 million-per-year deal.
Despite a controversial 2021 season that included scandals regarding his vaccination status, Rodgers won his second consecutive MVP award after throwing for 4,115 yards and 37 touchdowns in 16 starts.
This will most likely be his last contract, but with modern medicine you really don’t know, just look at TB12 going strong at 44.
