GREEN BAY - Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' salary-cap number has been reduced to $28 million as part of a new four-year contract.
Rodgers' cap number had been $46 million, so his new deal saves the Packers around $18 million on their salary cap.
The Packers now just have to trim about $4 million more to get under the cap after the signing of linebacker De'Vondre Campbell and the Rodgers restructure.
According to NFL Network, Rodgers will be paid $150.6 million guaranteed on his deal. He’ll earn $74.5 million in the first new year and $62 million average through the second new year.
