Joe Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Excellent move for both sides. Kenny gets his $$$ before his numbers go down because of the JAG's next to him and the team has a chance to actually draft some help for him over the next two drafts if they are actually paying attention to the games...

Yeah it really must suck to rush the passer when the OL also has to worry about both Smiths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas492 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Can't help but think this is a great deal for the club. Factor in the fact that it is an extension, with his age and this is a great deal. A necessary deal. Right now there are GM's within the division cursing this deal. I dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Here's the contract breakdown. Lol at the Packers not even pretending to be subtle about what they plan on doing with Rodgers. I wonder what year they'll be moving on from him....tough to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what year they'll be moving on from him....tough to say Sets up ideally with Rodgers' contract. It was always the likely case that he plays 2 more years here. Trade him after 2021 season. Love is going to need every bit of that time because this off-season has largely been a waste with no preseason reps, etc. That will give him one complete off-season next year followed by one more regular season on the bench and then it's time to sink or swim in year 3.

deltarich87 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) They aren't gonna trade Rodgers. They'll cut him and let him have the opportunity to sign where he wants as a show of respect for what he's meant to the org. They traded FAvre because he was a petty *** hole Edited August 25, 2020 by deltarich87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers value will still be pretty high and they will want something in return. Would be bad business to just let him go without any return .... salary cap yes, nothing else gained that way.

Gross negligence to let someone walk when you can get serious draft pick compensation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathstar Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 It’s incredibly more likely that we are looking at a smaller or stagnant salary cap for 2021 and the team believes it’ll resume growing in 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, both could be true, but I'm not much of a gambler, and I'd easily bet that this contract setup has a hell lot more to do with the 2021 cap which has a set date, then the Rodgers contract which they'll probably play by ear, as the future replacement has to actually develop first...

Besides, it's the typical contract structure the Packers use. If you take out the 5th year and compare Kenny's contract with Za'darius' one yo have the following: Kenny cap hit Z cap hit Year 1 7.1M 7.25M Year 2 20.65M 17.25M Year 3 21.25M 20.75M Year 4 22M 20.75M So proportionally Kenny's year 1 is about a million less than what it would be with a typical Packer contract, but that can be easily attributed to the expected 2021 low cap (175M).
