GREEN BAY PACKERS legend Aaron Rodgers has been overtaken as the highest-paid player in NFL history.

The 41-year-old, who is currently without a team, has amassed $380.6million in career earnings so far.

Having been drafted from the University of California in 2005, Rodgers spent 17 years at Lambeau Field, earning an estimated $305.6m in total.

He then moved to New York to spend two years with the Jets and subsequently took home another $75m.

Until recently, his incredible career salary made him the highest-paid player in NFL history.

However, a Los Angeles Rams player has overtaken him.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is now the highest earner in the league, having made $391.3m so far in his career.

The 37-year-old was drafted by the Detroit Lions in 2009 after impressing for the University of Georgia.

He went on to spend 11 years with the Lions before joining the Rams ahead of the 2021 season.

Stafford is now about to enter his fifth season with the Rams and his 17th year in the NFL having recently agreed a new contract.

Behind Stafford and Rogers on the list of the NFL’s highest earners is Tom Brady, who took home substantially less than both during his career.

It is understood that Brady – widely considered the best NFL player of all time – earned $332.9m with the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins is the fourth-highest earner in the league’s history having raked in $321.6m.

Meanwhile, Russell Wilson is the fifth-highest earner in the NFL.

The New York Giants star has reportedly earned $315.8m throughout his career so far.
