The landmark Green Bay Packers-Aaron Rodgers deal has set Twitter ablaze, with reactions on how much heβs getting paid and how he was never βcancelled.β
On Tuesday, The Pat McAfee Show revealed that Aaron Rodgers decided to stay with the Green Bay Packers, and it seemed to break the Internet.
This was no easy decision. Rodgers considered retirement and the #Broncos. In the end, the #Packers get it done. They commit to Aaron Rodgers for many years. https://t.co/4Mf7rcmHej

Now, Aaron Rodgers seems to have the perfect answer to the Packers even drafting Jordan Love to replace him: his massive four-year, $200 million commitment.

The record-breaking contract has Rodgers making more after age 38 than all but 8 NFL players in their entire career.

Rodgers may have gotten his bag, but now thereβs the question of where Davante Adams will end up. Itβs assumed that Green Bay somehow found a way to keep Adams with Rodgers, which begs the question as to why the Dallas Cowboys canβt do the same with Amari Cooper.
Tell me how the Packers will be pay Aaron Rodgers $50 million and still be able to sign D. Adams. Yet, the Cowboys can't (or don't want to) keep Cooper

Itβs worth noting that Aaron Rodgers made sure to steal attention away, but it wasnβt from the Super Bowl or NFL Combine or NFL Draft. Instead, Rodgers took attention away from International Womenβs Day, which is celebrated annually on March 8 during Womenβs History Month.
I stand with all the women who had their day stolen by that asshole Aaron Rodgers. Disgusting. #InternationalWomensDay

Since Rodgers is now the highest-paid player in NFL history, heβll have nothing to complain about in Green Bayβor will he?
With Aaron Rodgers agreeing to an extension with the Packers, the good news is heβll now be perfectly happy and will not find anything to complain about for the duration of the contract.

Green Bay fans will have reason to complain if Rodgers continues to choke in the playoffs.

With the news that Rodgers considered the Broncos, Chiefs fans have something to be thankful for: that Rodgers is staying out of their conference and division.
We appreciate how Aaron Rodgers personally ensured the #Broncos quarterback situation would remain sad for the foreseeable future. https://t.co/bHHLVRnare

And through it all, itβs entirely possible that Rodgers could have scored more had it not been for cancel culture.
Aaron Rodgers would've gotten $250 million if it weren't for cancel culture

Aaron Rodgers gets an MVP and $153M guaranteed. How is that being cancelled again? Cause Iβd like to sign up be cancelled if thatβs the deal

While others can laugh and criticize Rodgers for taking so much money away from his teammates, it seems that Rodgers won his years-long war against the Packers for wealth and respect.
