Aaron Rodgers has been among the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL since he extended his contract with the Green Bay Packers following the end of his rookie deal.

The total value of Rodgers’ contracts that he agreed to have totaled around $63.5 million, $110 million, $134 million and $150.8 million, according to Spotrac. He restructured his current contract with the New York Jets that earned him a base salary of about $1.8 million in 2023 and $3.1 million in 2024.

But should the impossible happen, Rodgers could be looking at a steep pay cut come Inauguration Day 2025.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running an independent campaign for president, is "considering" the four-time NFL MVP as his potential vice presidential running mate, a campaign rep confirmed to Fox News Digital on Tuesday. The New York Times, which first reported the notion, also said Jesse Ventura is on the short list as well.

Rodgers has been an avid supporter of Kennedy over the last year. He appeared to endorse Kennedy’s run for president last April. Should a Kennedy-Rodgers ticket somehow upset the presumptive candidates from the two major parties, President Biden and former President Trump, it would mean less money than Rodgers would receive playing football.
