Give Aaron Rodgers credit. He could be asking for all the money. All the Packers’ money. All the NFL’s money. All the advertisers’ money. Your money. My money.

As the NFL’s best quarterback, Rodgers could ask for just about everything short of the keys to the federal reserve and get it—or at least not get laughed at for thinking he deserved it. And he’s not doing that. Instead, cheap nike nfl jerseys free shipping according to a report last week by the NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, all Rodgers is asking for is “player control” over his future.

Rodgers, asked about the reports, called it all “just conjecture” (at least he didn’t stomp his feet and shout Fake News)—but if these are indeed his demands in his next contract, they sound reasonable enough. Who doesn’t want a little more financial control over their future?

Rodgers has two years left on a deal that ranks 10th in the NFL in average money per year (all contract data courtesy OverTheCap.com). He is slated to earn a total of just over $42 million in salary and bonuses over the next two seasons. In the same span, Kirk Cousins will make $53 million; Jimmy Garoppolo, who has thrown fewer career touchdown passes (12) than Rodgers threw before getting hurt in mid-October last year (13), nfl cheap jerseys nike will make $57 million; and Derek Carr will make $47.5 million thanks to a contract extension that, in fairness, seemed like a pretty good idea at the time.nfl nike jerseys for cheap

Rodgers should be looking to restore order to the salary spreadsheets. And all the better if he does so not by becoming the highest-paid quarterback—a fleeting honor that only lasts until the next good quarterback hits the market—nike nfl jerseys wholesale cheap but by being the first one with the flexibility to renegotiate on his own terms, not the team’s terms.

It’d be downright revolutionary—represent an evolution of the NFL contract, one that turns quarterbacks, contractually, into a whole new species.
