CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reports that it won't be too long before Aaron Rodgers becomes the highest-paid player in NFL history. It could be a week or two. Perhaps a month or two. But given the ongoing negotiations between the star quarterback and the Packers, the progress to this point and the accepted reality between the sides that Rodgers is going to eclipse in most every way the recent record contract signed by Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, it's only a matter of time before he becomes the league's first $25-million a year man -- or close to it. La Canfora reports he would not be surprised if a deal was struck before the draft. Rodgers is currently scheduled to earn just $9.75 million this season and $11 million in 2014, the final years of his current deal.
