Rodgers signed a one-year, $13.65 million deal with the Steelers to be their quarterback in 2025.
That deal will push his lifetime earnings near $400 million.
His Hall of Fame career has seen Rodgers getting some of the biggest contracts in the NFL every year, and it has added up to the historic number.
Here are all of the contracts Rodgers has signed in his career:
- Five years, $7.7 million
- Six years, $63.5 million
- Five years, $110 million
- Four years, $134 million
- Three years, $112.5 million
- One year, $13.65 million
In total, that adds up to $394 million in career earnings. So far he has been paid out $360 million.
That doesn’t include any endorsement deals though, which bring his earnings even higher.
According to Sportico, adjusted to inflation Rodgers has made $620 million in his entire career.
That is the 45th most career earnings by any athlete in the world.
The only other football players that have made more thanks to endorsements are Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.
However, both of those quarterbacks made less money than Rodgers in NFL contracts.
Brady only made $332 million and Manning made $248 million.
While Rodgers is the highest paid player in NFL history right now, he won’t hold the title for long.
Patrick Mahomes notably signed a massive contract with the Kansas City Chiefs starting in 2020.
So far in his career, Mahomes has earned $182 million.

It is by far the biggest contract in NFL history by total value, but it isn’t the biggest by average value.
Mahomes is making $45 million per season on that deal, but 13 quarterbacks are making more than him.
Notably, Dak Prescott signed the highest annual value contract of all time at $60 million per season.
The Cowboys extended him for four years on a $240 million deal.
