in 2023 he'll get about 29 or so million (salary plus roster bonus)

Rodgers has 150M in guarantees. If he plays one year and gets cut he gets 150M. Two years, same. If it is a three year deal and he gets cut going into year 4 he still makes 150M. So what you are pointing out cannot be true. He makes 50 per year in three years guaranteed if it is really a 3 year deal.

his contract is complicated as shit, but i'm going off spotrac. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/green-ba...-rodgers-3745/

$101.515M guaranteed at signing (2022 salary, 2022 roster bonus, 2023 salary, 2023 option bonus)

what makes it really weird are these 3 lines

2023 Option Bonus (to exercise the 2025 compensation): $58.3M (guaranteed)
2024 Option Bonus (to exercise the 2026 compensation): $47M (injury guaranteed at signing, fully guarantees the 5th day of the 2024 waiver period)
Declining either of the 2023-2024 options converts the base salary for that year into the bonus figure ($58.3M, $47M respectively)

It is confusing. It looks like a 5 year, 211 million dollar deal with low cap hits in the beginning.

If you add up the cap hits (which is all the money that will be paid) it is 211 million.

some of that cap hit comes from the leftover cap hits from the last deal. they didn't get erased just because there was a new deal signed

Yeah. Two years of the old deal are in there. But it is 5 years, 42M per year. Three years, 150 of new money.

I do not know if 100 or 150 are guaranteed. If it ends up being 3 years, I do not know if he will have made 150 or if he will have made 120. It looks like 120 but I do not understand those guarantee clauses.

And I cannot use apostrophes so if my writing is odd and full of (do nots) and (he wills), it is because I cannot use quotes or apostrophes.

Over the cap has it looking like a 3 year, 145 million dollar deal. So a 3 year, 48 million per year deal where 45M will hit after he is gone. They can spread it out over two years if they cut him post June 1st I believe.

[RashanGary]

That is a very Rodgers friendly deal. The cap hits are low for 3 years but then we pay for it for two years after he is gone.

[NewsBruin]

I'll take back some of my grousing. We got Rodgers signed before the Browns created a new set of standards for elite QBs with Watson's deal.

[bobblehead]

Other GMs being morons aside, I have no clue what Rodgers deal actually is. So much crap out there its hard to say. I really hope Red is correct, however all things equal if we hadn't cut a year off his deal in 2021 a lot of this manipulation wouldn't be necessary.

I do not think we cut a year off his deal. He signed a 3 year extension and it turned into a 5 year 211 million dollar deal. That tells me he had two years from his existing contract.

This Rodgers contract is confusing as hell. All sorts of clauses and escalators that are hard to make any sense of.

A year later, I cannot believe they actually salvaged the situation. Amazing job by MM, MILF, Gooter.

[texaspackerbacker]

Good Job, Yes, but I'd say more like Never A Doubt.

Rodgers seems to have created a bit of a mutiny though. He talked about the team not being loyal and the people problems. And Davante bought in. He wanted out. MVS wanted out. None of the WRs showed up to offseason work either, along with Rodgers.

They somewhat salvaged it, but they have lost some respect along the way too.

KIND OF AGREE

BUT NOW CONSIDER THIS

Rodgers has to be viewed as a leader and is happy and part of the leadership team with Guters. All is good there, right ?

REAL QUESTION

GB is going to have some brand new WR's that really need to get in sync with their QB.

DO YOU EXPECT Rodgers, our co leader, to attend the Voluntary OTA's for the good of the team ? Or are we giving him a free pass on anything he really wants at this point ?


Personally, I would hope so.
