Description: Multiple sources are reporting that the Packers are close to reaching a contract extension with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. | Insight: ESPN's Trey Wingo was floating around "four years, $100 million" as a possible contract figure on Thursday afternoon's edition of NFL Live. If that comes to fruition, Rodgers would be getting the largest annual salary in NFL history. Rodgers still has two years left on his current deal that pays $8 million annually. | | |

Description: According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, the Packers are likely to give quarterback Aaron Rodgers a contract extension this offseason. | Insight: If Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco gets the $20 million annual salary he's been coveting this offseason, Rodgers will have every right to ask the Packers for a raise, because let's face it, Rodgers is twice as talented as Flacco. His deal expires at the end of the 2014 season so the Packers don't have to rush this. Rodgers is currently earning just under $11 million per season. | | |

Description: For the second season in a row, Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers led the NFL in quarterback rating. | Insight: His 108.0 mark was substantially lower than the breathtaking 122.5 rating he posted in 2011, but that's nitpicking. Rodgers could very well be headed to Canton some day if he continues to play like he has the past couple of seasons. | | |

| 12/10/2012 3:00:00 PM |
Description: Packers QB Aaron Rodgers' 27-yard touchdown run was his only score in what turned out to be a disastrous Sunday night game for fantasy owners. Rodgers threw for 173 yards on 14-of-24 passing under wet conditions at Lambeau Field against the Lions. | Insight: Rodgers had a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 24-4 from Week 4-11 but has just three touchdowns in his last three games.

With nine touchdowns and no interceptions over his last two games, Rodgers has regained the title as the league's most dominant signal caller. | | |
| Hot | 10/15/2012 9:52:00 AM |
Description: Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers had a monster fantasy day Sunday versus the Texans.

Description: As expected, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers shredded the Saints miserable defense for his best performance of the season, putting up 319 yards and four scores. | Insight: Rodgers only had three TDs over the first three games, likely causing some fantasy owners to panic, but he had to face three of the better defenses in the league in those games. Another big week should be in store against the Colts next Sunday. | | |
| 9/25/2012 9:34:00 PM |
Description: Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has only thrown for 248.3 yards per game and three touchdowns with two picks in three games this season. | Insight: Green Bay's offensive line was manhandled by Seattle's front four Monday night, allowing Rodgers to take eight sacks. He's been sacked 16 times in three games after taking 36 in 15 last year. The line is going to have to improve if Rodgers is going to live up to fantasy expectations. A matchup with New Orleans' porous defense Sunday should help. | | |
| 9/13/2012 11:40:00 PM |
Description: Packers QB Aaron Rodgers threw for just 219 yards and one touchdown Thursday against the Bears. | Insight: Rodgers has a 3-to-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio this season and is averaging just 6.9 yards per attempt.

| 9/13/2012 1:44:00 PM |
Description: Packers QB Aaron Rodgers led the team in rushing with 27 yards Week 1 versus the 49ers. | Insight: Cedric Benson was a non-factor in the opener (nine carries, 18 yards) and James Starks is listed as doubtful for Thursday's matchup with the Bears. That doesn't leave Green Bay with many options in the running game, so expect the team to continue to utilize a pass-first approach in Week 2. | | |

Description: Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers showed fantasy owners an important facet of his game on Thursday night which separates him from many other quarterbacks - his running ability. | Insight: Rodgers ran for 52 yards and two first-quarter scores while going 12-for-22 for 154 yards through the air. The Packers superstar can beat you with his arm or legs. Last season he threw for 4,643 yards and 45 touchdowns and rushed for 257 yards and three more scores in 15 games. | | |
| 9/9/2011 8:47:00 AM |
Description: Aaron Rodgers completed 27-of-35 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Packers to a thrilling 42-34 victory over the Saints in Thursday's NFL opener. | Insight: Rodgers picked up right where he left off from the Super Bowl. He was extremely accurate and made good decisions with the football and kept the Saints on their heels with a no-huddle offense. They also took full advantage of a green Patrick Robinson, who was abused by Rodgers. With Jermichael Finley back and the possible emergence of Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson, Rodgers has a huge arsenal of weapons and there may not be a better QB in fantasy. It'll be difficult to keep him out of the #1 spot this season (even on the bye week)... | | |

Description: In an interview with ESPN, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap that "fantasy football has changed the NFL as we know it." | Insight: He said fans are always talking to him about scoring points and getting the ball to certain receivers. He believes fantasy football, in essence, helped save the game after the work stoppage of the late 80s and continues to help it today. Thanks for the pub Aaron. | | |

Description: Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was surprised the team focused on the offensive side of the ball with their first three picks in the 2011 NFL Draft.
SOURCE: MILWAUKEE JOURNAL-SENTINEL | Insight: "I was surprised. I was definitely surprised we went offense, offense, offense with the first three picks," said Rodgers. "I was actually in Kentucky and I probably heard from 50 people what kind of player Randall Cobb was. Very nice young man. Hopefully he can help us out. But I was surprised." | | |
