NFL: Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers agrees to megadeal to become NFL’s highest-paid player.

Aaron Rodgers, to no one’s surprise, became the latest star quarterback to push the salary bar higher in becoming the NFL’s highest-paid player.

Rodgers’ long-awaited contract extension with the Green Bay Packers was completed Wednesday. He agreed to a four-year deal worth $134 million, according to a person familiar with the terms of the blockbuster contract.

The Packers announced the agreement later Wednesday but did not release details of the deal.

“It’s been an amazing ride the last 13 years; excited to start year 14 knowing that my future is here, in Green Bay, for our 100th season,” Rodgers wrote on an Instagram post in which he thanked the Packers, his teammates and Green Bay fans. “I’ve grown up in this place, and grown older and a little wiser along the way . ... Looking forward to making some more memorable moments this year, and for years to come.”

Rodgers, a two-time NFL most valuable player, unseats Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan atop the league’s highest-paid-player rankings. Ryan agreed to a five-year, $150 million extension with the Falcons in May. Ryan’s deal surpassed that of Kirk Cousins, who struck a fully guaranteed three-year, $84 million agreement with the Minnesota Vikings in March in free agency after three straight 4,000-yard passing seasons with the Washington Redskins.

Rodgers had two seasons remaining on his previous contract, with base salaries totaling $39.8 million. He now is to make $176 million over the next six seasons, including a $500,000 workout bonus that he already earned this year. The new deal includes $98.2 million in guaranteed money. Rodgers receives a signing bonus of $57.5 million and is to receive about $80 million by March.

The extension runs through the 2023 season, during which Rodgers will turn 40, and could keep Rodgers in Green Bay for his entire NFL career. He was chosen by the Packers with the 24th overall selection in the 2005 NFL draft, ending his plummet through the opening round after many had thought he would vie with fellow quarterback Alex Smith to be that year’s No. 1 pick.

Rodgers sat and waited for three entire seasons behind Hall of Fame-bound Brett Favre before taking over as the Packers’ starter in 2008 amid Favre’s unceremonious split with the iconic franchise. Rodgers has been a worthy successor to Favre, winning a Super Bowl title and being selected to six Pro Bowls. He was the league MVP for the 2011 and 2014 seasons.
