Rodgers: Packers won't 'nickel and dime me, and I'm not trying to screw them'

Contract negotiations between the Green Bay Packers and franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers appear to be moving at a snail's pace.

Though both sides have discussed a contract extension that would likely make Rodgers the highest-paid quarterback in the league, nothing has been made official with the regular season almost two weeks away.

Rodgers is unconcerned, however.

"I don't think they would want to nickel and dime me, and I'm not trying to screw them," Rodgers said on ESPN Wisconsin's Wilde and Tausch show.

"This is a partnership. That's the only way this is going to work, and the best way things work in this situation is we're in this together. If they make that financial commitment, that's what they're saying. And also there's an expectation I'm going to play well, and that's my side of the bargain."

Rodgers is entering his 14th season and will turn 35 years old in December.
