Days After $35,000,000 Pay Cut, $200,000,000 Aaron Rodgers Buys $9.5 Million Mansion in New Jersey for a Staggering Reason

The training camps are in full swing for the New York Jets, and all eyes are on Aaron Rodgers. The veteran QB made his anticipated debut at the training camp at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center last month and is going all in. Rodgers, who signed a 200-million-dollar deal with the Green Bay Packers for four years in 2022 and found himself traded off to the Jets in April of this year, recently also made waves with a historic pay cut. As part of a restructured contract with the Jets, he agreed to a staggering $35 million, allotting him $75 Million for two seasons.

Despite the huge pay slash, the QB has left everyone baffled with the pricey purchase of a $9.5 Million worth mansion. However, Rodgers has a reason behind the lavish purchase beyond the acquisition of a new property.

Aaron Rodgers makes a strategic purchase

The new sleek mansion situated in the Montclair area of New Jersey is an architectural sight to behold. As per New York Post, spreading over 2 acres of land, the mansion boasts eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. However, the major attraction is that the new pad is just an hour away from New York, which offers a comfortable commute to the QB. The Atlantic Health Jets Training Center is also adjacent just a half-hour drive away from his new home. The estate is also situated half an hour away from MetLife Stadium, the Jets’ home stadium.

The suburban mansion flaunts a media room, a home office, a three-car garage with a charging station, and a wine cellar. It also offers a panoramic view of the New York City skyline.

As per reports, the house was originally listed for $11 million and pitched towards the end of June. The new pad stands as the latest addition to Rodgers’ impressive belt of properties.

Rodgers’ pricey real estate portfolio

The four-time MVP is known for owning several properties across the US. One of his pricey possessions includes a $28 million beachfront villa in Malibu, California. The huge edifice is split into two separate restructures with a two-bedroom guesthouse and a three-story main house.

The California native shelled out another mansion in Del Mar, California, in 2009 for a staggering $10 million. The 5,771-square-foot mansion serves as one of his favorite spots to relax and unwind during the offseason. He also owns residences in both Tennessee and Texas. With the latest acquisition in New York, Rodgers has secured an abode in one of the bustling cities in the US.
