    Just to define terms before resuming the pre-draft jostling for alpha male...

      I guess I want these contracts done soon to end all of this speculation and drama.

        I kinda like the speculation and drama. I just have to find an article that says Clay Mathews is trying to sabotage Aaron Rodgers' contract in order to get more money. Ohhh that would be juicy. Maybe throw a steamy love triangle in there somewhere too.

          Romo's numbers are in and the National Football Post does a huge breakdown here: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/...os-riches.html

          But the most useful stuff is in the summary of the guarantee money and first 3 year's money in each of the largest QB contracts. Because that is the number Dunn and Rodgers will be asking the Packers to beat.

          From the NFP article:

          First 3 years: Flacco ($62 million), Brees ($61 million) , Manning ($58 million) and Romo ($57 million).


          Guaranteed money: Drew Brees ($60.5 million), Peyton Manning ($58 million), Tom Brady ($57 million), Romo’s ($55 million).

          Side note: $11.5 million of Romo’s guarantee is his own money because his 2013 base salary in his prior contract was $11.5 million. Also, Romo's guarantee numbers include money that is only paritally guaranteed now and could become full guaranteed later. So none of these numbers should be used to calculate cap hits, potential renegotiate/cut dates.

          So what do I know about Rodgers new deal? It will contain more than $62 million in money for the first three years and have more than 60.5 mil in (partially) guaranteed money.

          And I still think they should just guarantee the whole contract for four years and $16-18 mil per.

            Just a thought Smeefers:

            Have a ball but I'd suggest getting rid ot that ** 'steamy love triangle' part.

            Some people believe everything is truthful on the internet. There's alot of non members reading Packerrats.

            I'm sensing with **; some hellish rumors surfacing around the NFL regarding all levels of communication within the Packer organization.

            The most important man in the Packers organization becoming the locker room:



            Towel Boy

            Imagine the cost of that man's salary and his 'special attire'.

            Not to mention, putting a whole new meaning on:

            GO PACK GO!

                  56 years old!? Nope. To fit that I would have become an avid Packer fan at about 2 years of age.

                  Virgin. I fathered three daughters. I'll leave that 'just' there.

                  I don't care for sardines. I'm a smoked kippers man.

                  NFL football is a hobby. The Green Bay Packers and Packerrats a passion.

                  I'm happily retired as of last year.

                  Sorry your creeped out. Have you tried this trick?

                    Let's just get those deals done, Russ Ball. I want to know what the future holds for the Pack, specifically regarding Mr. B.J. Raji. Does the team have any interest in returning him to the fold? Does he have any interest in returning?

                      Whether Raji returns may depend on the market value. If some team is willing to make Raji the highest paid NT in the NFL, I'm not sure TT will or can match it, given how much he's going to have to pay Matthews and Rodgers.

                        After last year I'm not even sure how good Raji is. It will be interesting to see what TT does

                          Raji and Pickett are both heading in to the last year of their contract. I'll be surprised if they are both in a Packer uniform next year. I think TT will take a DT/NT in Round 1 or 2 this year, and decide which of the veterans to keep.

                            Agree
                            Ideally ya gotta keep the young guy; it is the way of TT

                            But what if Pickett can be had for 2MIL a Year and Raji costs 6-7MIL a year.....

                              Good point. Then you probably gotta keep Pick. And while I read a story in the JSO about his play dropping off this year, whatever happened to the meme that a d-tackle gets better with age?

                                Pickett has gotten moved with double teams the last year or two. Not badly, not like Raji, but he doesn't stay put like he did through the Super Bowl year. I would be happy with a big DT early.

                                Raji is just not the anchor Pickett is. He is best versus a team that wants to pass. he got steamrolled versus the 49ers a couple of times.
                                Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
