In a blockbuster move that has stunned the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys have signed four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a four-year, $75 million contract, including $50 million guaranteed. The shocking signing, confirmed early Wednesday morning, marks a dramatic shift in the Cowboys’ approach to their championship aspirations.
Rodgers, 41, joins Dallas after a tumultuous two-year stint with the New York Jets, where a devastating Achilles injury ended his 2023 season before it began. After a frustrating 2024 campaign filled with injuries and inconsistency in New York, many believed Rodgers was headed for retirement.
Instead, he is now set to lead America’s Team, giving Jerry Jones and the Cowboys one last chance to win a Super Bowl with a legendary quarterback under center.
Rodgers’ arrival comes after Dallas officially parted ways with longtime starter Dak Prescott, who was released last month after contract negotiations broke down. With Prescott out and Rodgers in, the Cowboys have made it clear: they are in win-now mode.
Jerry Jones: “Aaron Rodgers Gives Us Our Best Chance to Win a Super Bowl”
At a press conference inside the Ford Center at The Star, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones took center stage, beaming with excitement as he introduced Rodgers as the new face of the franchise.
“This is about one thing and one thing only: winning the Super Bowl,” Jones declared. “Aaron Rodgers is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play this game. We believe he gives us the best chance to get to the mountaintop. That’s why we did this.”
Jones, who hasn’t won a Super Bowl since the 1995 season, has been searching for an elite quarterback to take the Cowboys over the top. After years of coming up short with Prescott, the longtime owner made the bold move to land Rodgers.
“I’ve been around this game for a long time. I know what championship football looks like, and I know what it takes to win in this league. Aaron Rodgers is a proven winner. We’re not here to just make the playoffs—we’re here to win the whole damn thing,” Jones added.
Jones also addressed questions about Rodgers’ age and recent injuries.
“I don’t care if he’s 41, 51, or 61—he’s Aaron Rodgers. When you get a chance to sign a quarterback of his caliber, you don’t hesitate. I know he’s got plenty left in the tank, and I know he’s as motivated as ever to show the world he’s still got it,” Jones said.
Rodgers, dressed in a Navy Blue Cowboys polo and sitting beside Jones, flashed his signature smirk as he prepared to address the media.
