If quarterbacks have seemed powerful in the NFL in the past, it is nothing compared to now. Now they are the league's gods.
Johnny Unitas made $100,000 a year in the 1960s. That was considered huge money. Today, quarterbacks pay that to get their golf carts detailed.
About 45 years after Unitas played his last game, on a normal Wednesday in August, Aaron Rodgers showed just how far the power of quarterbacks has come, and how much it's still growing.
Rodgers' four-year extension, according to a source with knowledge of the deal, is worth $134 million.
