Rodgers Coming Extension

What do you suggest, rob their bank?

Cut Cobb clears over 10 million

Cut Mathews, clears over 10 million

These 2 are not contributing in any way to us winning

A bit harsh.

I bet Rodgers goes after every dollar he can. Besides the obvious benefits it also maximizes his input on personnel. If the Packers want cap relief Aaron can require a seat at the table and provide the flexibility. Aaron has chafed at the lack of spending in the past. He gains influence by being able to grant the cap room instead of just blindly relying on the front office to do something, who has all to often let him down.

I bet that input into decision-making is more valuable for him as getting that last 2-3 million thrown in. He can give it up, be the good guy (just look at all the press Brady got), and get whatever authority that leverage gets him.

Welcome!

I think Brady is currently miffed that his team friendly deal didn't get him more help, partially explains the estrangement now. Not sure Rodgers would trust that giving up a dollar would ensure it get spent on a new player.

The wheels have already been set in motion to clear most of that cap space for next year. Cobb will not be back after the rookie and younger WR's have a year under their belts.
Clay is not under contract for next year. If he does well this year, I could see them bringing him back at a reduced salary, otherwise he will be allowed to walk.

i'll bet clay is back. LB is too much of a weak spot to let him go.

[pbmax]

Cobb will be back. Mark it down.

Clay may not depending on his market.

Eh, or you could always take money away from the guys who make a ton, and don’t come close to earning it

You should be trying to replace those players with better players who still require that much or more money.

that would be like getting rid of randall and saying the cbs are now worse because of it

clay is a big reason why our pass rush is such a joke

making one big play every 2 or 3 games while doing nothing in between just doesn't cut it. hes not even playing up to the standards of a starter IMO,much less a "superstar" making over 10 million a year

Now that TT is gone I wouldn't bet that either CM IIII nor Randal Cobb see the field in 2019 wearing Green and Gold.

See My Post and Top Ten available WR's and LBers for the 2019 Draft.

Aaron Rodgers is soon going to be very much RICHER.

'Show ME the Money.' Aaron Rodgers Agent

It'll be done before the Opening of the Big Training Camp and Exhibition Games.

The Contract has to be huge to keep Aaron Rodgers on point.

Don't make him pout Packer Brass.

Interesting — Dimitroff says he ran into Aaron Rodgers in an airport, and Rodgers told him to get Matt Ryan’s contract extension done so Rodgers could ‘get on with my life.’

Sounds like someone can’t pick up on sarcasm

Or doesn’t know what a joke is

Aaron Rodgers Reportedly Wants Player Options in New Packers Contract

BY: TIM DANIELS ...JUNE 1, 2018


" ... Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is reportedly seeking additional control in order to sign a long-term extension.

On Thursday, Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reported Rodgers is pushing for contract options that would give him an opportunity to renegotiate if QB salaries continue to skyrocket ..."

I read that article too. I'll believe it when I hear it from Rodgers himself. There are fake news assholes in the sports media, same as news, and I wouldn't put it past 'em to make up shit like that out of disrespect for Green Bay and the heartland in general.

[woodbuck27]

Aaron Rodgers is suffering and need a lot more money. I mean just look at the trashy looking digs he has to entertain in, poor Guy:



He lives in California.

He started out playing college football there and became quite well-known.

He was drafted in the NFL in 2005 and played for the Green Bay Packers. To be near his team, Rodgers lived in Green Bay at first. That changed as he missed his own hometown and State and decided to move back.

He resides at a not-so-modest mansion, which has an Olympic-size pool.
