Aaron Rodgers Says He Isn\'t At Odds With Packers Over Contract 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Aug 21, 2018 12:30 pm

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have discussed a new contract for months. A deal hasn\'t yet materialized, but that doesn\'t mean the quarterback and team are at odds.

Rodgers told ESPN\'s Wilde and Tausch that he still believes an agreement can be made that benefits both sides.

\"I don\'t think they would want to nickel and dime me, and I\'m not trying to screw them,\" Rodgers said. \"This is a partnership. That\'s the only way this is going to work, and the best way things work in this situation is we\'re in this together. If they make that financial commitment, that\'s what they\'re saying. And also there\'s an expectation I\'m going to play well, and that\'s my side of the bargain.\"

Rodgers is due $20 million this year and $21 million next year under his current contract.
