Aaron Rodgers is back on top as the NFL’s highest-paid player.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback and two-time MVP agreed Wednesday to a four-year, $134 million extension with a maximum potential value of $180 million,
The deal includes $103 million guaranteed and $67 million before the end of the calendar year.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan previously set the high for average annual salary with a five-year, $150 million deal reached in March.
Rodgers, 34, still had two years remaining on the five-year, $110 million contract he signed in 2013, which at the time made him the league’s highest-paid player. He was set to earn a base salary of $19.8 million this year and $20 million in 2019.
