That’s a more precise way of saying what I said. Thank you. Just wondering if there’s anyone in the org (not a fellow teammate) who Aaron really likes at this point? He doesn’t seem very confident or happy with things in the past (defense) or present (not being consulted about Van Pelt). This team/org needs to get its mojo, swagger, and confidence back. Last season really took a toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. Out of context it sounds like Aaron is ready to play somewhere else. In the context of the interview it was a nothing burger. He also said this, "I think you have to be humble enough to realize if it could happen to Brett, it can happen to you," Rodgers said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to whip out the calculator because I couldn't believe the APY my head was telling me. Let's see the guarantees and exits but that is outrageous.

I think I'd hold off on signing Rodgers long term unless he agrees to a team friendly structure. The money for QB's is starting to become completely too cost prohibitive.

Which is reason number a billion why I do not want to re-sign him. We will not win a Super Bowl if we pay Rodgers what he's worth. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll trade Rodgers after this coming year for three first round draft picks, use two of them on quarterbacks to hedge our bets on the position, trade the one we don't stick with for two more first round picks and just keep drafting defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Are we over-exaggerating a bit the potential problems a Rodgers extension will cost us? I mean, his cap number is already at about $20 million this year and $21 million next year. Lets say we extend him at an average of $30 million, probably the first few years at a lower cap number and then it escalates....so if hes around $25-27 million the first few years of that new deal, does that destroy us? Basically erases $5-7 million a year that we cant use to overpay a guy like Randall Cobb or Morgan Burnett. I mean, surely we are going to need to draft better but we will still be able to sign a guy here and there in FA as well. Not an ideal situation but I don't see a death sentence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyecatcher Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Since the Brett Favre led Packers won the Super Bowl there have been 21 Super Bowls. In those 21 games 29 of the 42 starting QBs were future HOF QBs. Of those 21 wins all but 3 were won by a future HOF QB. Yes they had good defenses but they also had exceptional QB play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
