On Monday, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. signed a massive five-year deal worth $90 million. On Wednesday, it’s Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ turn to break the bank.
With Rodgers signing a colossal four-year, $134 million extension contract with the Packers, Twitter has been sent into a frenzy. From casual fans to NFL stars, everyone’s got a reaction to the news.
Here are some of the best reaction from folks in the NFL.

Like Rodgers, Tyrann Matthieu secured a new deal himself this offseason, as he signed a one-year worth $7 million with the Atlanta Falcons back in March following a release from the Atlanta Falcons. Matthieu is one to chicken out when Atlanta faces Rodgers and the Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 13 of the next season.

Another member of the secondary, whose jaw has hit the floor after learning of Rodgers’ new deal is Darius Slay of the Detroit Lions cornerback. The cornerback will have his hands full covering Rodgers’ targets in two upcoming meetings with the Packers this year.
Meanwhile, retired NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson also has something to say to Mr. Rodgers, who may or may not want to go to a fast-food restaurant with one of the most colorful players to ever play in the league.
