The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Packers CEO Mark Murphy recently described signing Rodgers to a new contract as a “priority.” Soon, “priority” will be replaced with “reality.” A new deal with Rodgers could be done soon, possibly before the draft. “It is his time,” a league source with knowledge of the situation recently told PFT.
Diehards Line:When it comes to value, PFT's Mike Florio doesn't expect another nudging of the bar by a quarter inch or so. With Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco getting $20.1 million per year roughly eight months after Saints quarterback Drew Brees receiver $20 million annually, Rodgers could go as high as $23 million annually. ESPN's Adam Schefter has predicted $25 million annually.
