Aaron Rodgers and State Farm started working together back in 2011. The first spot featured Rodgers performing his championship belt touchdown celebration alongside the State Farm promise of a discount double-check. In subsequent commercials, Rodgers was joined by other Packers teammates, including Clay Matthews , Randall Cobb , and B.J. Raji. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes got in on the fun, and of course, Rodgers and Jake from State Farm shared the screen.

Yet we’ve seen the last of Rodgers in State Farm commercials. The company has parted ways with the New York Jets quarterback. A spokesperson confirmed saying, “We wish Aaron the best in his future endeavors.”

The final Rodgers appearance was in January of this year, airng during the NFL playoffs. State Farm didn’t have a commercial in the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. With Mahomes playing for one team, the company didn’t show any favoritism.

So, just how much did Rodgers make for his appearances?

The State Farm spots were among the most lucrative for any athlete. Rodgers earned an estimated $3 million per year. That means after 12 years, Rodgers made about $36 million from the company. Last season, State Farm was the fifth-highest spender among all advertisers for the NFL.

Coincidentally, Rodgers’ entire State Farm earnings are about what he’ll make with the Jets this season. He joined the Jets during the offseason and restructured his deal, so now he’ll earn a $36.8 million signing bonus and base salary.

Rodgers, who is entering his 19th NFL season, will be wearing another team’s jersey for the first time (though he still can’t escape green as a team color). This year’s contract will give him $342 million in on-the-field earnings, which will make him the highest-earning athlete in NFL history.

Including his State Farm earnings, Rodgers has made about $110 million in sponsorship deals. He’s partnered with companies including Adidas, Pizza Hut, Sharpie, and more. He’s also a minority stakeholder in the Milwaukee Bucks.

Now, Rodgers is approaching the half-a-billion-dollar mark for his career. Can he get there before he hangs up his cleats? It’s possible, but he’ll have to do it without the support of State Farm.

Aaron Rodgers’ New Contract Will Pay Him $400,000 Per Day For The Next 200 Days

Aaron Rodgers is arguably the top quarterback in the NFL. Over the past couple of years, he’s watched other quarterbacks – like Kirk Cousins , Matthew Stafford , and Matt Ryan – earn big bucks. The whole time, he had to be thinking he was worth more than any of his fellow signal callers.

Well, now he’s getting paid like the top quarterback in the league.

Rodgers and the Packers agreed to a four-year, $134 million extension. The deal includes a record $57.5 million signing bonus and Rodgers will earn $80 million by St. Patrick’s Day. That equals $400,000 PER DAY for the next 200 days.

The extension means Rodgers will make between $176 and $180 million over the lifetime of his deal. He previously signed a five-year, $110 million extension in 2013.

By the time this deal ends in 2023, Rodgers will have made $315 million. His predecessor, Brett Favre , made $135 million during his entire career.

Rodgers will enter his 14th season in the NFL. He currently has the best passer rating (103.8) and TD-to-INT ratio (4.01:1) in league history.

Perhaps Rodgers’ biggest strength is how he makes the rest of the team better. Since 2008, the Packers are just 6-13-1 without Rodgers on the field, averaging a full 7.5 fewer points when Rodgers is sidelined.

Rodgers has already taken to social media to celebrate. His post is a reminder of how far he’s come, from backup QB who slid in the draft to one of the best to ever play.
