Aaron Rodgers, Packers reportedly 'creeping towards' deal

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the team are "creeping along" towards a new contract, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.

What It Means:

Schefter says Rodger's new contract will make him the highest-paid player in the history of the league, so these negotiations figure to be a bit more complicated than most.

Rodgers is the top overall player in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings. We currently project him to throw for 4,621.0 yards with 37.69 touchdowns and 7.6 interceptions this season, in addition to 322.4 yards and 3.01 touchdowns on the ground.
