ARod's new contract

[texaspackerbacker]

He basically IS the team, and he's getting paid accordingly. With a bonus that large, the cap shouldn't be stretched too much in the early years, and assuming he's still fairly near the top of his game by '22, another deal should smooth out the cap hit then.

So... what % is paid to the QB and Offense vs Defense (ignore ST) by year? Will we be competitive on D - enough to outlast a bad playoff game, weather or injuries? Will nfl expand the pool, grow past 53 or allow luxury tax?

I think it’s a fair deal. he deserves it and is one of best ever. But at what cost? Is this his last contract? Does he end up a Viking at 41?

OTC or Spotrac will give you offense versus defense, but OTC and Bill Huber projected Favre's money next year will be 13.16% of the cap, if it goes up as projected (by about $10 mil per team).

I posted his Tweet somewhere around here.

good, now maybe we can have some peace, at least until next offseason when the next QB signs a bigger deal and florio gets back up on his box again about how the packers are disrespecting a-rod again

He was already predicting dissatisfaction in Year 4 on his podcast today because Rodgers gets close to 60% of contract value in first 3 years. Used Julio Jones as an example. However, Rodgers has never agitated like Jones has about being passed up. There may be other differences but I have not been paying attention to Jones specific complaints.

I suspect it will be enough to be the bonus, new money and cap champion twice in his career. Contract renegotiation at 38 likely will not be the same as this one.

It was right here! http://packerrats.com/showthread.php...l=1#post982024

If Spotrac is right, Packers could conceivably refuse to pay his 4.8 million roster bonus in 2020 (probably just after new league year starts in March) and have a cap hit that doesn't swamp the cap savings over the next two years. Could be a 2 year deal if he gets hurt. That is why its a nearly $60 million signing bonus.

This is what you can buy if you have $134 million.

Ha ha, I thought i could force packerrats autocorrect to replace 'Favre' with 'Favre'. I mean 'R O D G E R S' with 'Favre'. Damn autocorrect!

The suit or the hat?

The suit or the hat?

I think he can afford both.

No shit, ARod never complained. He went to work knowing when the contract was done he would be the highest paid player again. And he knows in 2 or 3 years he will be out of the top 5 like before.

You'd think with his income he'd have a better wardrobe designer...

[pbmax]

His cap number prior to the extension was about $20 million, right?

Cause if OTC (based on Florio's report) is right, the hit this year is about the same.

Also, there no longer appears to be a bonus in 2020, but theoretically cutting him becomes a possibility. He has a $13 million bonus due next year.
