Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn't sound in a hurry to negotiate his next contract. That’s a good thing for the Packers. With three years left on a six-year, $65 million contract he signed in 2008, Rodgers is a bargain by today’s standards. Drew Brees recently signed a five-year, $100 million deal with the Saints, making him the NFL’s highest-paid player. Yet, Rodgers had no plans to race into the office of Packers general manager Ted Thompson. "That (contract) stuff takes care of itself," Rodgers told Ian Rapoport of NFL.com and NFL Network. "I still have a few years left on my deal, and we’ll talk about that when we get there."
