Rodgers, Pro Football Talk engage in back and forth over free-agent QB contracts
As with every offseason, free-agent quarterbacks are expected to get paid an exorbitant amount of money in the next couple of days.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was asked by ESPN's Jason Wilde on Wednesday whether Mike Glennon's rumored $15 million per year free-agent deal would elicit a conversation about his own deal and Rodgers responded, "I think it has to."
The people at Pro Football Talk covered the response, and drew another one from Rodgers.
Actually, I said 4 words. And was referring to comparing contracts between players that play the same position. #fakenews https://t.co/ZI1Okps8IT

Pro Football Talk couldn't help but respond.
"I didn't say that thing I said." https://t.co/3q41Nj5IGi

How does this mean anything but "I deserve a raise," @AaronRodgers12? https://t.co/gond5HbsR9

The exchange appeared to end there, but Rodgers' conversation with his team's brass may have just begun.
