Some would say Rodgers should be in the first wave. But here’s the rub: He doesn’t seem to be inclined to complain about his current contract, even though he’s woefully underpaid. It’s the Jo(h)n Voight Phenomenon; Rodgers did a bad deal, committing himself for seven full seasons in 2013 without accounting for potential spikes in the salary cap. As a result, his aging $22 million-per-year contract doesn’t compare well to new Derek Carr’s $25 million annual deal.

In March, as rumors and reports grew that the Bears would be giving Mike Glennon $15 million or more per year in free agency, Rodgers said as to whether this would compel contract talks for him, “I think it has to.” In response to the PFT item on the issue, Rodgers downplayed the obvious implications of his words and brushed our interpretation off as “#fakenews.”

Not sure what the point of this is(edit: not your comment Zero, but the medias). Aaron signed a big and well deserved contract at the time and has earned every penny of it in my opinion. Carr has been excellent and I believe the Raiders took care of business getting this deal done. Is it wrong Carr is being paid more? Maybe, but the guy was in the MVP talk last year so it is not like he hasn't really been part of the bringing the Raiders back to respectability after way too many years of futility. If you have a franchise QB you lock them up.
