All kinds of moving parts with this Aaron Rodgers’ contract extension. Rodgers wants to be the highest-paid player in the game. He surely wants X amount of guaranteed money, likely more than Kirk Cousins ($84 million) and Matt Ryan ($94.5 million). What else does he want?
He reportedly wants something no NFL player has ever gotten. Something you primarily see in the NBA. A player option.
One thing to watch on the Aaron Rodgers contract negotiations is how much control he will have built into the deal. I discussed here. pic.twitter.com/bGA1VLZlLU

As you can see, the idea is Rodgers could opt out of his new deal at some point (or points) to renegotiate.
