NEXT YEAR AARON RODGERS WILL BE

[bobblehead]

I think assuming we are fucked at qb once rodgers is gone is foolish. I also think assuming we are set is foolish. We will know at the end of next season. We take his 5th year option we are set. We don't we need to draft well in the 2023 draft and hope.

What I said in the Love thread. If you don't extend him off that 5th year option, what makes you think he will be inclined to stick around? If I were him I would demand a very large contract going into year 6 (after Rodgers contract forces us to renegotiate again, or move on). I wouldn't let the team off easy at the point they are ready to use me finally....not when I can become a FA and see what some idiot GM will pay me.

I'm shocked we kept campbell. It was nice of him to take almost 33% less than he could have gotten in the open market.

The truth is though, that the window is likely closed. I just don't see ARod winning cold games in the playoffs anymore. Maybe Love is garbage and this was the only way to keep winning, but wow, the window is cracked open for 2 years and then slammed shut for 2-3 more immediately after that. I would have rather traded him for a haul, traded Adams, eaten my 1 year cap hell and moved on with a ton of capital and several very good young players.

The window certainly AIN’T closed, hombre. Did Butte choke in the clutch? Sure. Did he miss a WIDE OPEN Lazard? Sure. But if you actually take some time away from skiing to watch the all-22 coaches film in its entirety, you’ll perceive Lazard, Cobb, St. Paul, et al., having difficulties getting open consistently in the infamous 69ers game.

I was watching the first half of Super Bowl 31 the other day. Holy fuck! Neither the Packers nor the Traitors ran a single play out of the “gun.” Belichick, then DC of the Traitors, called the Pistol Force Quarter, you know, with 7 DBs, multiple times. Shurmur blitzed DBs from the slot a tons. And #84 of the Packers looked exactly like a clone of OB-tucking-J.

Assuming the Fresno Freak returns, the Packers are a bona fide #2 WR away from winning the whole fucking thing. Hell, Packers woulda won the whole fucking thing last season had they not gotten cheap and managed to sign OBJ.

The problem is we have been saying that for years, and still bounced in the playoffs. I hope you are right, but my gut says this was a mistake, at least for people younger than me who could face the '80s' again..

It would be the 80’s again without Butte. Sure, not making the playoffs hurts a lot less than making the playoffs and fucking up in the playoffs. But if you had a shot at being Jennifer Lawrence’s champion, would you take the shot? Butte gives us a shot.

The window is still open, but barely. AR should have taken a more team friendly deal if he really wanted to win a SB. He stated that it was categorically false that he wanted to be paid $50M and be the highest paid player in the NFL. That was a complete lie just like everything else that comes out of his mouth now.

The next lie I expect out of his mouth is that Davante needs to be paid.

[Bossman641]

Unequivocally false that Aaron wants to be the highest paid at 4 year-200 million. How great of him to settle for 3 yr-150 million instead.

We are going to have an absolute nightmare cap situation in a few years.

He didn't lie. He said the terms being reported weren't accurate. They were a little off. He's now under a 5 year deal with total cap hits of 213 million. That's less per year than Mahomes' contract. If you only look at the last 3 years of the contract, then yes, he will be the highest paid player. However, by then there's a good chance someone will have signed a contract that surpasses it. For the next 3 years, Rodgers' contract is pretty cap friendly for a QB of his stature.

Rodgers' cap hit in 2022 will rank 7th among QB's. 8th in 2023. 4th in 2024. Although by 2024 his cap hit will likely be lower than 4th as others will have passed him with new deals.

Yes. Let's hope that the gambling revenues are as great as we think they will be as that is how we don't drown in 2025.

The Networks are gonna bail out every team in the next couple of years, especially with Bezos making it rain.

[call_me_ishmael]

The real question is Aaron going to cut that stupid hair before next season? I imagine he will because it looked god awful all year.

The answer to that is the same as the answer to many questions regarding many men. Is there a woman in his life saying "I like it that way"

people really need to quit shiity on rodgers for taking a fake insane amout of money

florio was reporting that his number was like 67 million per year

looking at the cap sites now, the guy gave us a huge deal

his cap numbers for the next 3 years are 28.5, 31.6 and 40.7. those are all low cap numbers for the 2 time defending MVP

the cap numbers then go way up on the last 2 years (still nowhere near the 67 million that dickhead was saying), but these include massive roster and option bonuses. the team can walk away after the 2024 season and only have a 16 million dollar cap penalty

hell the team can walk away after the 2023 season and save a ton of cap

it looks to be a very team friendly deal IMO
