Marchand reported that Rodgers is “receiving more than seven figures per year to come on the show each week.”

McAfee confirmed that Rodgers is paid for the weekly appearance. However, he did not dive into the exact amount. “Aaron has made over $1,000,000 with us, for sure,” McAfee told The Post.

McAfee is in the first year of his five-year, $85 million deal with ESPN. McAfee knows that big guests generate attention for him and his brand, so using some of his contract money to pay for the weekly spot is worth it.

Marchand also reported that McAfee pays Alabama head coach Nick Saban in the same “neighborhood” as Rodgers to appear on his show every Thursday.

Rodgers wants to up the stakes, challenging Kelce to a vaccine debate. Rodgers would team up with presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while Kelce could team up with Anthony Fauci.
