Aaron Rodgers gives key financial advice to Jordan Love after signing $220,000,000 deal with Packers

Aaron Rodgers has seen and done it all in his 19 years at the top of the game. Now, towards the end of his career, A-Rod imparts a financial lesson to his former protégé, Jordan Love, who signed a four-year, $220 million contract with the Green Bay Packers.

Apart from congratulating the young quarterback, his former mentor also gave sound financial advice.

“Well, first of all, since you mentioned it,” Rodgers said to the NFL media. “I want to give a shout out to Jordan Love becoming the highest paid player in the NFL. Jordan Love don't spend it all in one place. But if you do, I still have a house in Green Bay that's up for sale.”

Over the years, Aaron Rodgers stayed at several luxurious homes in Wisconsin. It is unclear which one of those he mentioned.

Love was picked by the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He was termed as a long-term replacement for Rodgers. After serving three seasons as his understudy, Love took the reigns as Rodgers left for the New York Jets last season.

In a year where much wasn’t expected from the Packers, Jordan Love took them deep into the playoffs, showing his talent and grit. Now, he has been rewarded for that by making him the highest-paid player in NFL history.

Aaron Rodgers has a message for Jets fans as well

During his sit-down with the NFL media amidst the training camp, Aaron Rodgers shared his message to the Jets fans as well. He especially mentioned the teary-eyed fan after seeing him at a golf course earlier this month.

“As far as my beloved Jets fans, you know what? I got to meet a great one out in Tahoe. And he's passionate, just like the rest of you men and women are. And it's going to be an up-and-down season, probably a lot more ups than downs," Rodgers said.
"But just stick with us. Obviously, we want to stay healthy. Obviously, we got big dreams. It's been a rough stretch the last 13 years. But the tide is turning."

The Jets are in a rough patch; the last time the franchise went into the playoffs was in the 2010 season. As A-Rod points out, he will be trying to change that this season.
