Two short years ago, the Green Bay Packers made Aaron Rodgers the NFL’s highest paid player. Fast forward to today, and Rodgers is now congratulating the NFL’s new top dog — Jordan Love.
The future Hall of Famer gave a quick shoutout to Love — and the new, $220 million deal he received from the Packers — while on NFL Network on Saturday.
“I want to give a shoutout to Jordan Love becoming the highest paid player in the NFL. J-Love, don’t spend it all in one place. But if you do, I still have a house in Green Bay up for sale,” Rodgers said, laughing.
Love officially signed the new contract before practice on Saturday morning.
Here’s the clip of Rodgers on NFL Network:

“Somebody will buy it, but probably not me,” Love said Saturday.
Love said Rodgers reached out privately on Friday night after news broke.
Love’s new deal averages $55 million per year and included an NFL record $75 million signing bonus.
Rodgers, who missed all but four snaps last season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon, is returning to the Jets for his second season in New York in 2024.
