The Facts:
Does Drew Brees, who came in second in MVP voting last year, signing
the most lucrative contract in NFL history have the player who came in first in MVP voting last year thinking about re-doing his own deal? Rodgers says no. “That stuff takes care of itself,” Rodgers said. “I still have a few years left on my deal, and we’ll talk about that when we get there.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Michael David Smith notes, Rodgers’s six-year, $65 million contract has turned out to be a bargain for the Packers, but when he signed it in 2008 there were some who thought it was too big a financial investment for a player who had, to that point, started just seven games in his NFL career. Smith went on to suggest the Packers’ decision to make a big investment in Rodgers at a time when he hadn’t proven himself yet may be why Rodgers feels enough loyalty to the team that he won’t complain about his contract. Even if other signal callers are now moving past him on the payscale.
