I think the best scenario is wait until after June 1 and trade Rodgers to Las Vegas for a 2024 1st round pick. Rodgers gets reunited with Adams, and gets the chance to play close to home so he'll agree to the contract. Raiders can afford it because they will save almost $30 million on the cap by cutting Carr. Give Love a chance to play with these young receivers. If Love isn't good Packers will have the draft capital to move up in the 2024 draft to draft a quarterback.

Unless Over the Cap is wrong, trading Rodgers after June 1st leads to a massive cap hit.

I think it might be possible to trade Rodgers very soon (before March) so that the next team has to pay the guaranteed bonus coming up.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
If I'm reading it right, according to OTC, the cap hit is 98 million if they trade him before June 1, and 30 million if they trade him after June 1. I don't think you can trade players anymore in this league year.

Somewhere on this site someone found a link to a guy who actually had a really good breakdown of his deal and it was nowhere near as bad as we all thought it was by looking at OTC and sporran
We take a big hit, but it’s not 98 million (I don’t think). And could be spread over 2 years

There is zero way to reduce this $40.31M of dead cap. There is no magic Drew Brees or Bobby Bonilla method to make this disappear as the money has already been paid.
Best case is to spread $15.83M to 2023 & $24.48M to 2024 if the retirement is processed after June 1, 2023.Ken Ingalls - Packers Cap í ½í²°
@KenIngalls
These numbers are exactly the same if Aaron Rodgers is traded instead of retires. The $40.31M does not transfer to the new team even if they would be willing to take some/all of it on.
A new team would have Rodgers at a $15.79M cap hit in 2023 after exercising his $58.3M option.

There is a giant roster bonus do on the first day of the new year. If the team picks that up, then the dead cap jumps up to like 100 million
I think I read somewhere that if they pick up the first option it locks in all the other years options
This is probably what they will do, I agree.
