What’s your early take on Jordan Love?

[Packers4Glory]

Was first thing that occurred to me but Rodgers is here for 2 more years. So its gotta be solved with or without Love.

3 years. why does everyone say 2?

Dead cap money if the Packers cut or trade Rodgers in 20, 21 or 22:

51 million, 31 million and 17 million.

Cap savings in 2022 dwarfs the hit I believe. Its not good, but livable.

[smuggler]

Don't forget that you can split the actual hit over two years because of the post-June 1 rule. But this is a meaningless conversation, because Rodgers should - at least at this juncture - complete his contract.

Im not 100% sure how to read this. Think if he was released after the 2021 season we'd have a cap hit of 17M for him as opposed to 39M if he's on team.

That’s the dead cap money, but you aren’t taking into account the cap savings.

Rodgers has a $39.852 million cap charge in 2022 and the cost to cut Rodgers would be equal to just $17.204 million, a savings of $22.7 million. There is almost no difference between this and June 1 designation so the June 1 would make zero sense in 2022. A team acquiring Rodgers via trade would pick up a contract worth $25.5M in base value over the two seasons. That is the current going rate for the old QB so its probably a perfect match if he can still play.

No matter how you slice it, this is a franchise reset pick.

We weren't good enough last year to win a championship, and we're going to be worse this year... combine that with the fact that the team that bitch-slapped us in the NFC Championship Game very much improved themselves - and you're on the outside looking 3 years down the line.

It's a reset pick, and they should begin looking at trade options for Rodgers.

not for two years it isn't. Unless Rodgers gets hurt, which is reasonably likely in the next two years.

Get what you can for him, as soon as you can... probably next offseason.

They might just do that, if Love looks like Rodgers did in 2007. But I'm guessing it'll take another year.

Yep. Total waste of time to keep Rodgers any longer. This team is going nowhere. Gute had to have a perfect offseason to give us a chance. This is 3-5 year rebuild. Maybe longer with current front office.

Hope everyone had fun the last half of 2017.

So Kinlaw is better than Buckner? A rookie WR makes them better?

[wist43]

Wins and losses for 2021-23 now no longer matter except in relation to where we draft.

This approach nullifies both the Smith contracts... I'd be looking to trade Z Smith now too.

[GB-Brandon]

I believe Kinlaw will be better then Buckner and quicker. Aiyuk was my no.5 receiver and he is replacing an aging Sanders that was starting to show signs of wear and tear.

Aiyuk with Deebo Samuel along with that power run game is gonna be amazing.

Lynch Surgically worked the board like a thing of beauty.

[RashanGary]

If he's good.

1. We can win games if Rodgers is injured.
2. The defense gets scout team practice against the toughest skillset in football to defend, the mobile QB who can throw on the move
3. We have a successor to Rodgers

[RashanGary]

I watched Love against #11 Michigan State in 2018 and the championship LSU Tigers last year.

Hes competitive, calm and isn't afraid to make a play. Never looked rattled despite constant pressure.

He's a tough, gritty kid with all the tools. We'll see how it shakes out. I didn't see anything that made me doubt him.
