Aaron Rodgers has said this will be his last season in the NFL.
The Pittsburgh Steelers' QB has earned millions and millions in his football career, but his last contract won't be cheap either, paying him up to $25 million.
That's not all guaranteed, though. A total of $2.5 million exists as contract incentives tied to playoff success.
Pro Football Talk released the specific incentive details in a new article.
Each playoff win for Rodgers at the conclusion of the 2026 season would be worth $625,000.
So a wild card win gets $625K. A win in the divisional round adds it up to $1.25 million. Then another $625,000 on top of that for winning the conference title game.
If Rodgers wins the Super Bowl, you multiply that $625K by four to get him a cool bonus of $2.5 million.

Pro Football Talk adds that these bonuses only apply if Rodgers plays in 75 percent of the Steelers' regular season games.
Clearly, if Rodgers leads the Steelers to a Super Bowl, they won't mind paying him a little extra cash.
Is that realistic? Maybe not. The Steelers only made the playoffs last season because the Ravens missed a last-second field goal.
Rodgers will begin this season at 42 years old and end it at 43. He's still a quality player, but he's not the quarterback he once was.
It's asking a lot of Rodgers to expect him to lead Pittsburgh on a deep playoff run.
