When it was announced that the four-time MVP would be appearing on The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday, many thought this month-long wait may come to an end one way or the other. That didn’t happen.
Among other things, Rodgers talked about his final meeting with the New York Jets, which featured an awkward back-and-forth with head coach Aaron Glenn, a talk with New york Giants Brian Daboll, and several conversations he’s had with the Steelers and Mike Tomlin.
One thing Rodgers wanted to set the record straight on was the amount of money he was willing to play for, taking offense to reports saying he wanted $40 million.
“I told every single one of the teams it ain’t about the money,” Rodgers said. “I said I’ll play for 10 M’s.”
$10 million for Rodgers is obviously a much more appealing deal than spending $40 million, but there is still no decision made one week before the NFL Draft.
