The Facts: GM Brian Gutekunst believes a new contract with Rodgers will get done. Gutekunst said this morning on PFT Live that he sees no reason that the Packers and Rodgers won’t come to terms. “Both sides are working towards it and we’re confident we’ll come to an agreement soon,” he said.
Diehards Line:
Gutekunst added that Rodgers' new contract was being delayed in part due to other quarterback contracts that had yet to be negotiated. By the end of Thursday, the most prominent quarterback entering the last year of his contract, Matt Ryan got his new deal (which is worth $150 million with $100 million guaranteed) ... Rodgers has two years left on his current deal at about $21 million a year, which is a bargain rate for a player of Rodgers’ caliber, given what lesser quarterbacks are making. Expect the Packers to remedy that at some point in the near future.
