No wonder Aaron Rodgers was willing to take a pay cut from the New York Jets this past off-season.
New York PostMcAfee, a former NFL player himself, isn’t going broke by dipping into his own pockets to bring on guests. On top of the money that he made from his time in the league, McAfee recently joined forces with ESPN and has been omnipresent on the network.“My company went from a valuation of to a company valued over $500 million in just a few years,” McAfee said. “Everybody who helped us get to this point has reaped the benefits of it, that’s how business is supposed to work.
“To be transparent, Aaron deserves much more than what he’s gotten for the time and effort he has put into ‘Aaron Rodgers’ Tuesdays.’ “I know there’s an old viewpoint that Billion Dollar corporations have tried to make a standard that players and coaches are lucky to get on the platform and talk. Well, as the human who owns my company and sees the value directly associated with these guys sharing their stories and thoughts, I think that’s bulls—. ‘If somebody’s making money off of this, I’m making money off of this.
Considering how much exposure and engagement McAfee gets from his big guest, we’d say that it is money well spent.
