Aaron Rodgersknows how to look like a million bucks — in more ways than one.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback signed a record-breaking contract extension with the team that will net him $134 million over the course of four years,ESPNreported.
Of that amount, $103 million is guaranteed but Rodgers could earn nearly $180 million if he completes incentives such as securing a trip to the playoffs and finishing with a top three quarterback rating, the outlet said.

The deal means Rodgers, 34, will likely finish his career with the Packers — the same team that drafted him — as he’ll be 40 when his contract expires following the 2023 NFL season (though the athlete has previously mentioned he wants to go theTom Bradyroute and play into his 40s).
Shortly after the news broke on Wednesday, Rodgers posted a picture of himself on Instagram holding a Packers jersey during the 2005 NFL Draft.

“It’s been an amazing ride the last 13 years; excited to start year 14 knowing that my future is here, in Green Bay, for our 100th season,” Rodgers wrote on theInstagram post. “I’ve grown up in this place, and grown older and a little wiser along the way.”
Rodgers — a two-time NFL MVP — also included a picture of himself holding the Lombardi trophy after winning the Super Bowl in 2010.

He added: “Looking forward to making some more memorable moments this year, and for years to come…”
Danica Patrick— who confirmed her relationship with Rodgers in January — marked the exciting occasion with a picture of Armand De Brignac Ace of Spades Brut Gold champagne, which she posted on her Instagram story.
“Big day,” Patrick, 36, wrote in the post, along with a pair of green and yellow emoji hearts, the Packers’ colors.
