      He's still saying it is false (via McAfee). We'll see.

      Aaron Rodgers is returning to the Green Bay Packers, but the details of his new contract with the team aren't yet known with full certainty. While Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the Packers and Rodgers agreed to a four-year, $200 million deal, Pat McAfee of…

        They got a haul. Of course, he's much younger than Rodgers, so I don't think we'd have gotten that much. If we did, I would have taken that deal.

        • With Adams franchise tag, Packers 49M over the cap. They can create 56-59M cap space by:

          - Za’Darius Smith release: $15M
          - A. Rodgers extension: $12M-$15M
          - D. Adams extension: $10Mish
          - Preston Smith Extension: $7Mish
          - Randall Cobb release: $6M
          - Billy Turner release: $4M
          - Mason Crosby release: $2M

          • They will sign Adams long term and free up space. Bill Turner will not be released I doubt

            • Correct, CMI. If there is any accuracy to the $200m 4 year extension idea at all, the cap hit is $21m, which would be a $25m savings. I've been saying all along also, I think they cut Cobb then re-sign him for maybe a million or two. I didn't see anything on that list about Campbell and Douglas, Joe. I'm betting we have plenty of cap space and re-sign them too. I read that Seattle cut Bobby Wagner. I wonder if there would be any Packer interest in him.
              What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                The list I posted was about ways the Packers can cut salary to get under the cap. It wasn't about salaries that might be added.

                • Let's all wait for the usual suspects to start whining when the Packer don't sign some outside big-name free agent, which would be of course because they'll have so much money tied up in Rodgers and Adams.

                  • $8M/yr for a one trick pony who’s prone to disappearing acts? That’s akin to paying 97 $18/M for 3 sacks a season. See ya, MVS. Gonna miss ya 95 speed on Madden.

                    PS: Please, Packers, draft a 4.2 WR.

                        • Agree MVS has a nice skill set but can be replaced with someone younger and cheaper. His speed is a useful threat but there are a number of WRs in the draft at 6'2" or taller who ran under 4.45 and can run a 9 route with better hands.
                          If someone offers him a lot of money, you let him walk and take the comp pick.

                            + Jaire extension, Lowry release or restructure, and Amos restructure could free up more.

                            With the uncertain status of Bakh and Elgton, I'd like to see them restructure Turner.
