- Aaron Rodgers Signs Two-Year Extension with Raiders: $51M Deal Includes $33.5M Guaranteed
In a surprising and headline-grabbing move, veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers has signed a two-year contract extension with the Las Vegas Raiders. The deal, worth $17.5 million annually, brings the total value of his commitment to the franchise to $51 million over three years, with $33.5 million guaranteed.
Rodgers, 41, joined the Raiders after a brief but highly publicized stint with the New York Jets, which was cut short by injury. Now, he’s poised to finish his storied NFL career in Las Vegas, bringing leadership, experience, and a Super Bowl pedigree to a franchise aiming to return to championship contention.
“This is where I want to be,” Rodgers said in a statement released by the team. “The Raiders have a rich history, passionate fans, and a vision for the future that I’m excited to be a part of.”
Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce expressed his enthusiasm about retaining Rodgers, calling him “a game-changer both on and off the field.”
With $33.5 million in guaranteed money, the extension ensures the team is fully committed to Rodgers through the next phase of its rebuild. The Raiders, who have struggled with quarterback consistency in recent seasons, are betting on Rodgers’ elite football IQ and leadership to elevate a young and talented roster.
The move signals a strong intent by the Raiders front office to compete immediately in a stacked AFC. With a reinforced offensive line and promising skill players, Rodgers’ presence could provide the spark Las Vegas has been searching for.
Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP and Super Bowl XLV champion, will now aim to add one final chapter to his Hall of Fame career in silver and black. The 2025 season just got a lot more interesting.
