Packers Vote Potential

On August 7, the Green Bay Packers traded Brett Favre to the New York Jets. Ultimately, the victor will be obvious. If Aaron Rodgers shimmers, Green Bay triumphs. If New York improves, Favre triumphs.

On Friday, the Packers retained Rodgers. Rodgers signed a 6-year, $66 million contract. “I appreciate the commitment that they've made, and I plan to reciprocate that commitment in my play and hopefully prove to them that they made the correct decision giving me this extension,” said Rodgers.

In seven contests, Rodgers has completed 145 of 221 passes for 1,668 yards with 12 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. “As we talked about in the past, we try to be proactive in our discussions with our current players, and we felt like this was an appropriate time to try to come to an agreement with Aaron,” said General Manager Ted Thompson. “We feel like this is good for the organization and the players, and we will continue this approach as we move forward.”

Currently, the Packers are 4-3. This rates $455,172 per completion?
