Aaron Rodgers, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers football team, has said that he will take part of his salary from the National Football League in Bitcoin.
In a video posted to his Twitter account on November 1, Rodgers, dressed as the fictional character John Wick, probably for Halloween, said who would partner with Cash App to take a portion of his salary in Bitcoin (BTC). La NFL reported in July Rodgers would earn a base salary of $ 1.1 million in addition to a signing bonus of $ 14.5 million and a staff bonus of $ 6.8 million beginning in March, for a total of approximately $ 22.3 million.

According to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, Rodgers’ total salary would be worth approximately 368.84 BTC at a price of $ 60,636 at the time of this report’s publication. Although the cryptoasset reached a historical maximum price close to USD 67,000 On October 20, it fell below $ 60,000 more than once last week and has mostly moved between $ 60,000 and $ 63,000.
Rodgers joins other professional sports players embracing cryptocurrencies as the space seemingly becomes more mainstream. Last week, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady said that would make up for the fan who had his 600th career touchdown with 1 BTC along with some signed sports memorabilia.
