We are all waiting to hear the news on Aaron Rodgers and his contract extension. Now that Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan has signed a contract extension worth $150 million, it's only a matter of time when it comes to Rodgers signing his new deal. And we now know who will break the news. Former Packers wide receiver James Jones is an analyst for the NFL Network and he recently talked to Rodgers about his new contract. Jones said Rodgers and his agent were waiting to see what was going to happen with Ryan's contract before they continue talks.

"Now that Matty's done, it will probably heat up a little bit," Jones said when talking about Rodgers' extension. "But he told me I'm going to break the news. So just relax and follow me on Twitter if you want the info."

Breaking news is nothing foreign to Jones because he's already broke two stories concerning the Packers this offseason. Jones was the one who broke the story on Jordy Nelson signing with the Raiders and also revealing that Nelson considered taking a "low-ball offer" to stay with the Packers. Jones also reported Tramon Williams signing a contract with the Packers as he talked to him before the deal was official. So it looks like Jones could be the next Ian Rapoport if he keeps it up.

During the league meetings in March, Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy said he expected Rodgers to sign before the end of the offseason.

“Yes, I think so, yes," Murphy said. "Obviously, there's a lot going on with free agency, and now the league meetings; so I don't think there have been a lot of discussions recently. But I'm confident we'll work something out. I think you’ve seen in recent years and increase in the amount of guaranteed money in contracts. I think this is the first probably that I’m aware of that is guaranteed to that percentage."

Rodgers' last contract extension came during the draft in 2013. He signed a five-year deal worth $110 million and $54 million guaranteed. At the time, Rodgers was the highest paid player in the NFL, and it looks like he wants to do the same thing for his next extension. There's no telling how much Rodgers will get because of the market value for franchise quarterbacks continues to increase. But once the deal is done, Rodgers is going to be a very happy man.
