DAMN IT: It’s No Longer a Rumor — Aaron Rodgers to Join Dallas Cowboys in August on 6-Year Deal, But ‘HUGE’ Salary Sparks NFL-Wide Controversy
Dallas, TX — It’s official. The whispers are over, and the NFL world is in shock: Aaron Rodgers is set to join the Dallas Cowboys this August on a jaw-dropping six-year contract. While Cowboys fans are buzzing with excitement over landing the four-time MVP, the “unbelievable” salary figures tied to the deal have sent shockwaves across the league.
Insiders confirm the deal is worth over $275 million, with $210 million guaranteed, making it one of the most lucrative contracts in NFL history for a quarterback of his age — Rodgers turns 41 this December.
A Historic Move or Financial Madness?
The news comes after months of speculation following Rodgers’ short but eventful stint with the New York Jets. Despite battling injuries, his return was highly anticipated — but few expected him to walk straight into America’s Team for a long-term commitment.
“This is unprecedented,” said ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky. “Not only is it rare for a 40-year-old QB to sign a six-year deal, but the guaranteed money is outrageous.”
The NFL Community Reacts: Outrage and Amazement
The NFL community has exploded with reactions — some in awe, others in disbelief. Current and former players have weighed in, with a growing number of voices calling the move “reckless” and “desperate.”
“Dallas just mortgaged their future on a ticking time bomb,” said one anonymous NFC coach.
“Rodgers is a genius on the field, but six years? At that price? This isn’t Madden,” tweeted a veteran lineman.
Cowboys Fans Divided
While many die-hard fans celebrated the chance to finally get a proven Super Bowl-caliber quarterback, others fear the team has made an emotional gamble.
“Rodgers is elite, no doubt. But we just handed him generational wealth to play until he’s nearly 47,” one fan wrote on Reddit.
“If he wins us a ring, it’s worth every penny,” replied another.
The hashtags #RodgersToDallas, #CowboysChaos, and #NFLMadness are now trending across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
What Does This Mean for Dak Prescott?
The elephant in the room: Dak Prescott. The longtime Cowboys QB, once seen as the face of the franchise, now finds his future uncertain.
Insiders say Dallas may be exploring trade options, potentially shipping Prescott to a QB-hungry team like the Raiders or Buccaneers.
“Dak didn’t underperform. But when Rodgers is on the table, you move mountains,” a source close to the Cowboys front office said.
Rodgers Speaks Out
In a brief but confident statement, Aaron Rodgers addressed the deal:
“I’m coming to Dallas to finish what I started years ago — to win another ring. The critics will talk, but I’ll let my play do the answering.”
Final Thoughts: Boom or Bust?
The Rodgers–Cowboys deal is already being called the boldest NFL move of the decade. It could end in glory with a Super Bowl parade down Main Street, or in chaos as an aging superstar struggles to meet sky-high expectations.
