Aaron Rodgers signed a four-year extension with the Packers worth $134 million, making him the highest-paid player in the NFL.
The deal, with $100 million in guaranteed money, keeps him under contract through the 2023 season.
Rodgers' new annual average salary of $33.5 million per year eclipses Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan's five-year extension worth $30 million a year.
Rodgers turns 35 in December. He signed his previous extension, a five-year deal worth $110 million, before the 2013 season.
