"He wet the bed against Jimmy Garoppolo" - Stephen A. Smith takes a dig at Aaron Rodgers while congratulating him on his new Packers contract 

Aaron Rodgers finally made a decision on his future on Tuesday, opting to stay with the Green Bay Packers.

Aaron Rodgers will reportedly be the highest-paid player in the league, making $50 million a year over the next four years.

The fact that Aaron Rodgers has finally made up his mind about his future has not made him immune to criticism.

Stephen A. Smith, who used to be a huge Rodgers fan, took time out of his show First Take to congratulate the 38-year-old. Then, he proceeded to take a dig at the star quarterback for his views on vaccines and his playoff struggles.

“He deserves every penny that he’s getting. Congratulations. He will be great next season. I knew he was gonna regret this past season. I’m waiting for the Super Bowl. You got $50 million a year. Can I get a chip? Can we see Aaron Rogers in Lambeau Field?

He went on to say the following:

"I coined the phrase, 'He’s a bad man.' I love this brother. Aaron Rodgers is phenomenal. But he let me down. He let me down with the fake immunization, all of that other stuff, and then after that, to come in and wet the bed against Jimmy Garoppolo.”

Stephen A. continued to drag Rodgers in his rant.

“But the point is, I heard all that. You got your money, bro. Congratulations. Well deserved. You gonna win the chip? That is the question with Aaron Rodgers. Super Bowl or bust as far as his legacy over the next three, four years. You got to win the chip.”

Is Aaron Rodgers worth $200 million?

The question that a lot of people might be asking is, is Aaron Rodgers worth this much money?

Most would agree that he is. Rodgers is a four-time MVP, second only to Peyton Manning, who has five MVP awards. He also has a Super Bowl ring, and as recently as a year ago, he was in the NFC Championship game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In the 2020-2021 season, Rodgers threw 4,115 years, 37 touchdowns and four interceptions. His QBR rating is 111.9. He also became the first player since Peyton Manning to win back-to-back MVPs.

But he is 38 years old and seems to have an issue defeating his hometown team, the San Franciscio 49ers, who don't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon.

His contract has also made it almost impossible for the Packers to add any more pieces in free agency to this team to help him win another Super Bowl. It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out in the next few years.
