Green Bay Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk believes that teammate Aaron Rodgers will deserve every penny he gets in his new contract.

"Let's be honest, all of us minions have nothing that we can offer Aaron that would even come close to anything that he would get," Hawk told the NFL Network.

"He deserves every dime he's going to get. He's going to get a billion dollars, probably, so I'm OK with anything they want to give him, because he's one of the best in the world and he deserves everything."

Hawk, who took a pay cut of more than $7 million this offseason to remain in Green Bay, made his comments with Rodgers and the Packers moving towards a new long-term deal.
