Such a huge deal is not knew in this sport as previously, a 5 year contract extension was signed by Odell Beckham Jr at the New York Giants worth $95 million. This contract made Odell the the highest paid wide receiver in NFL history.
The @Packers said they didn’t sign Colin Kaepernick last year when Aaron Rodgers went down because they saw Brett Hundley as their quarterback of the future.
Hundley went 3-6 and today they traded him for a future draft pick.

Aaron Rodgers is the Michael Jordan of the NFL. He’s the most talented QB ever. He’s worth every single penny.
