Rodgers joins Mahomes and more with restructured contract

This week Aaron Rodgers made headlines with a massive restructuring of his contract.

The New York Jets' signal-caller opted to reduce his salary by $35 million over the next two seasons, helping to give his new team a better chance at constructing a competitive roster.

Though Rodgers' new deal drew headlines for its size and potential implications on the next chapter of his highly decorated career, it's not the first time such a restructuring has occurred.

In fact, star quarterbacks and teams agreeing on mutually beneficial contract restructuring has become quite common over the last several years.
