What do you want FB to do with AROD in 2023---AND some thoughts

[red]

Pretty sure they’re guaranteed bonuses

well they count all bonuses as guaranteed these days, even though only the signing bonus is only ever fully guaranteed

if its an option bonus, then they don't have to pick up the option

if its a roster bonus, that means he has to be on the roster for it to kick in, if he's released, no bonus

tis is why its so confusing. this is from spotrac

$101.515M guaranteed at signing (2022 salary, 2022 roster bonus, 2023 salary, 2023 option bonus)
2022 Roster Bonus: $40.8M (fully guaranteed, treated as signing bonus, $20.4M paid 6/20/22, $20.4M paid 9/30/22)
2023 Option Bonus: $58.3M (guaranteed, must be exercised between March 17, 2023 - Week 1)
Declining either of the 2023-2024 options converts the base salary for that year into the bonus figure ($58.3M, $47M respectively)

i'd like to know what fucking moron came up with this shit. almost looks like eric came up with it to prove how smart he is, but its just a bunch of jumbled up numbers

I am unclear what the purpose of the option bonuses was and what they give the Packers in terms of flexibility.

I am unclear why we did not trade AROD before that horrible contract..

Two consecutive MVP awards, Rodgers probably badgering for a new "commitment" from the FO.

Because they like winning football games and chasing super bowls? I highly doubt many if any league executives would have dealt him then, and I'm not so sure very many would deal him now.

The options provide some assurance against his early retirement and are a way to allow for a trade this year without an enormous cap hit in one year, all while still having guranteed money for him if he shows up and plays.

Most wouldn't now because they don't have a plan for what to do after their great QB is gone or no longer great. But the Packers did have a plan. It's now time to admit they were wrong and abandon the plan, or execute the plan.

Because the people running the team are not total dumbasses like you.

So how is that working out for them?

Management sure looks like the total dumbasses now...huh..

People are talking about a Rodgers trade because someone else is talking about a Rodgers trade.
I'm not sure it will happen, but if it does I could see the picks being conditional on his performance and how many years he plays. If he only plays one more year a team is less likely to want to take that contract.

[call_me_ishmael]

So how is that working out for them?

I mean... what is the expectation? It worked out pretty well going to the NFCC three of the last four years.

Management sure looks like the total dumbasses now...huh..

Do you really think that, though? I guess it really depends if people think 'Rod is washed. If teams are willing to trade for him, then clearly other teams do not. Do the Packers? I don't think they do.

What reason do you think the management looks bad? I think they are in a very advantageous position that many teams would long for. They have a young up and comer that they allegedly believe in, and they have a 4x MVP one year removed from back-to-back MVPs that went through an injury plagued rebuilding year. They can trade either of those players for assets to help the rebuild.

What, exactly, looks dumb about that?

The cap hell we are in, one of the largest in NFL history, an average team going downhill, not uphill, and my constant expectation of going the other way.
