Pat McAfee is determined to clarify the situation and emphasize his generosity, rather than being depicted as a bad guy.
A recent report by the New York Post suggested that Aaron Rodgers is earning “more than seven figures per year” for his appearances on Pat McAfee’s eponymous show.
Pat McAfee addressed this report on a recent episode of “The Pat McAfee Show.” He confirmed that he had indeed sent Rodgers substantial paychecks. He shared that their company’s value had soared from being worth somewhere between $2-5 million a few years back to over $500 million. He wasn’t mentioning this to brag but to highlight that all the individuals who contributed to this remarkable growth had been compensated generously. In his view, it’s a fundamental aspect of doing business.
“Our company went from being valued anywhere from $2-5 million a few years back to over $500 million,” McAfee said. “I’m not saying that to flex. I’m saying as a human who knows that all the people who have helped that happen have been paid very handsomely. That’s business in my eyes. That is what you do in the world.”
McAfee acknowledged that Rodgers initially felt uncomfortable receiving money from him. Nevertheless, McAfee wanted the four-time MVP to understand that this was his way of expressing gratitude.

Furthermore, McAfee expressed his disapproval of Andrew Marchand’s recent report for the New York Post, referring to him as a “rat” who attempted to present the situation in a way that portrayed him negatively. In reality, he believes that it was Marchand who acted inappropriately.
“Andrew Marchand is a rat, OK? That is what he is. He tried to paint this in a way that made me look like a bad person. It’s like, you’re the bad person.”
Aaron Rodgers is a regular guest on “The Pat McAfee Show” every Tuesday during the NFL season.
The only unusual aspect is whether, in the absence of a formal contract, McAfee would genuinely make the effort to pay Aaron.
