WHICH QUATERBACK PLAYS PLAYS ON THE GREEN BAY PACKERS TEAM LONGER ??

[call_me_ishmael]

Brady keeps winning Super Bowls at $25M/year, and Rodgers apparently (according to Bretsky) is clamoring for more than the $35M/year he already is making.

Rodgers isn't married to a billionaire, though.

Rodgers has already earned around $250,000,000 in his career. He's not hurting for cash.

[King Friday]

You can give Rodgers more money and extend things out to make sense. That could be good for GB as well as Aaron Rodgers

Perhaps...but I don't think this is going to provide enough cap space to do anything worthwhile. Rodgers will finish his career with fewer Super Bowl appearances than Favre.

Jones is gone. The pick of Dillon last year basically guaranteed that. RBs typically only have one shot at a mega deal, so Jones will go for max $$$. I can't blame him. His career could end on the first play of next season. Teams who pay top dollar to RBs usually don't get a good return, so I can't blame the Packers either.

The State Farm checks have to double that.

A CLIP FROM JS
The problem is if Rodgers is only willing to restructure if the Packers pay him more. Rodgers talked about the uncertainty of the roster after the Packers lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC championship game and included himself in that picture.

1) He doesn't have to be willing.
2) He'd be stupid not to let them turn his roster bonus into a signing bonus. He wouldn't just be doing the team a solid. It would be good for him also. That's guaranteed money now over potential money later.

$250,000,000 in his career. If this guy is mad at Packers management, he's a bigger douche bag than late career Favre.

I think, for the most part, money is like power, the more you have, the more you turn into a douche bag and/or the older I get, the more cynical I become..

The Packers have a pretty good roster, but it probably won't be as good in 2021. That's the way football works.

I think a lot depends on what they come up with at RT. If they have to move Jenkins there, the interior OL could see a dropoff. But if they can keep Jenkins at LG/C they should be fine there. I think Runyan is real. I think Dillon is a very different type of runner than Aaron Jones, but may be just as productive.

Rodgers IMO wants the security of being in GB long term. Did I ever say anything about about over 35MIL ? You are probably right; but I think the main thing AROD wants is a longer term committment. He's been reportedly nicer to the Luvmachine than Favre was to him....but I don't think he likes that pick much more than Favre liked him

They should have tendered Boyle. Then asked Rodgers to tack on 2 years at $25 million each and convert this season to bonus. In the deal we would agree to trade Love before the draft.

This is such a good idea. Be like, look man we’ll commit to you. But commit to us back. He would never. But it’s funny to think about putting the ball in his court. It’s like when favre was big timing the packers and contemplating retirement instead of coming to offseason work. Of course he wanted the teams commitment but he didn’t even want to show up for the offseason work so the commitment back was optional. A great GM will find a great QB. Period. Everyone is replaceable. No one should be big timing their teammates.

No, that's not automatic. If the team isn't as good, it means the GM isn't doing a good job. Are there gonna be a lot of high priced players sitting at home on Sundays this season because the salary cap went down? Hell no. Smart GMs will figure out a way to make it work. As I have said, as Harvey has said - in great detail, it should be easily doable to keep anybody and everybody worth keeping. Gutekunst has started the process; He needs to get the big 3 restructures done - Rodgers, Z. Smith, and D. Adams - in order to retain Aaron Jones and he should be able to keep Linsley too, although Linsley is probably not gonna make it. It's probably time to ask, WWJD - what would Jerry Jones do?

As great as that sounds, for some odd reason, cutting Love and I presume trading him too would mean a $7 million cap hit or something like that.

I could see Rodgers being OK with that. Maybe you even throw him 30MIL a year instead of 25

But anybody think Gute would ponder this ?

[Upnorth]

Or he plays out his contract. We don't need him to restructure.

We need adams to restructure. We need to keep him at least 3 more years. Preferably 4

I kind of agree with this. Let 12 play out the deal and see where love is at.
