Even though it wasn’t necessarily supposed to be done until the weekend, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers officially signed his new contract extension on Wednesday.
Rodgers was a happy dude and with $100 million guaranteed, why wouldn’t he be?
Rodgers went on Instagram to thanks just about everyone — fans, the organization, present and former teammates. He also threw in a #packerforlife. And I think we would all agree that we don’t want to see another Brett Favre situation. So that’s somewhat relieving.

Rodgers has said he wasn’t worried about the contract extension. That he was focused only on football. However, reports have emerged that both the Packers and Rodgers wanted the deal done before the season started. That suggests both parties felt it would be a distraction.
I think we’ve all gotten sick about hearing about it too. So let’s play some goddam football already!
