ESPN.com reported that the Packers made a "significant long-term contract offer" to Rodgers, and it’s expected to "alter the quarterback market." The contract offer wasn’t mentioned in the report, but it would likely make Rodgers the highest-paid player in the NFL.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes signed a 10-year, $450 million extension in July and is currently the highest-paid player in the league. The Packers’ offer would have to pay Rodgers more than $45 million per year.

There was a report last week that Rodgers could make nearly $50 million per year.

The Packers are currently $26.4 million over the projected 2022 salary cap, according to Over the Cap. If Rodgers signs a mega deal with the Packers, the team will likely need to make more cap room for star wide out Davante Adams. It’s likely that Adams gets hit with the franchise tag, which means his one-year deal would be worth $18.42 million.
