Aaron Rodgers, the longtime Packers quarterback, has won back-to-back MVP awards. As a result, rumor-town says he might want to be the QB with the biggest paycheck. However, Diana Russini’s shocking revelations about Rodgers’ demands prompted Pat McAfee to contact Rodgers regarding her claims. Consequently, Rodgers replied with just two words to the NFL reporter’s report.

On Thursday, ESPN’s Diana Russini reported that Rodgers is aiming to be the highest-earning football player in the league by a longshot. Additionally, he is seeking a contract that would pay him $50 million a  year.

McAfee clarifies reports about Aaron Rodgers

One person who can shed light on Rodgers would have to be his close friend Pat McAfee. Therefore, following Russini’s reports, McAfee contacted Rodgers on Friday.

McAfee texted Rodgers to inquire if the reports about him asking for such a large sum of money are true. In response, the four-time MVP wrote that the reports are “categorically false.”

McAfee discussed this topic on his show as well. He said, “I sent him, ‘Hey man, reports on you wanna be the highest-paid player by a wide margin,…… is that what’s going on right now?’ ‘Categorically false’ is what he said.”

Hence, McAfee clarified the matter on his show, staying staunchly loyal to his friend.

Not gone down well with the media

Greg Jennings had a harsh take. Pointing out the hypocrisy if the rumors are true, Jennings said, “Now all of a sudden, it’s about the money…Aaron Rodgers has been a very selfish guy… His words to me were ‘don’t be that guy’…”

Even long-time Rodgers supporter FS1’s Nick Wright was stunned. He even suggested that the QB might leave the Packers for a higher salary. Moreover, he listed a handful of NFL teams that might be capable of fulfilling his demands. Nevertheless, he also stated that Rodgers should not be signed to such a deal since he’s unworthy of it.

Thus, recent reports about Rodgers have caused him to receive a lot of backlashes. Although it is unknown whether the reports are accurate or not, we should see some clarity very soon. If McAfee is to be believed and he is a good authority, the matter is closed. But if there’s any truth to the matter, the future for Green Bay remains undecided.
