This whole quarterback contract merry-go-round is getting interesting. On Thursday, we noted that Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had become the highest-paid player in the league in terms of average salary. In turn, that pushed Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers further down that list.
We also noted that both Washington’s Kirk Cousins and Detroit’s Matthew Stafford are likely to get new deals soon.
Rodgers has said he’s not worried about his contract, but he also noted when the Bears threw $15 million a year at free agent Mike Glennon.
Rodgers’ average salary is $22 million, but forget about that for a moment.
