Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers spoke to the media on Monday. It was the first time he’s done so since it was reported he wants a series of player options in his new contract.
The idea — unprecedented in the NFL — would allow Rodgers to opt-out of his deal at several points, so he could renegotiate. Thus, he could remain the highest-paid player in the NFL over the duration of the deal, something his vanity apparently requires.
That is, if the reports — Ian Rapoport has followed up Mike Garafolo’s original report — are true.
