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 I would quit being a fan if they made that poor of a business decision, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a 5-8 type of team list. Would not be great if he wanted to retire if not traded to a particular group of teams. Would he "risk" the hit on his reputation if he did so? Rodgers does have the knack for being petty. From the team end, they paid him very well in the 2 major contract extensions he got, so I am not sure what more they would "owe" him by not taking the best offer from any team that would be wanting to trade for him.

Could they do a deal whereby he pays back the 'dead money' so Packers have a clean slate contract wise and have him off the books without a cap hit - possibly in 2022. If so this would probably work for everyone. Rodgers gets to go wherever he wants and his new team probably gives a better contract than if they have to trade for him. If we do this then I would be OK waiving any trade compensation. Nicely clean exit as well. Realistically there would be a good chance, 2022 would be a rebuild anyway if we did this so would probably pick high in the draft anyway afterwards. If we have to take a cap hit then its fair, we get as much as we can trade wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 The only way GB would release Rodgers rather than seeking compensation in trade would be if GB had a genuine QB controversy that was causing issues in the locker room. Not a totally unrealistic scenario within the next few years. I'm not even saying Rodgers has to do anything specific to cause problems, but having a young QB on the roster who is being held back by an aging vet never is only sustainable for so long.

MacReady Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Clark is 7 years younger than Heyward and we just signed him for less than the Steelers signed Heyward. First of all, our contract negotiators are absolutely excellent. Adams, Clark... Wow. Second, what are the Steelers thinking? Heyward is 31 years old.

I’m not really ranting I just don’t understand how contracts work because this thread says 4 years 70 million for Clark and I thought Heyward got 4 years, more than 70 million, and I was confused, so I doubled down on Clark’s deal being better for the Packers than Heyward’s deal was for the Steelers.

VonKarman Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 They both got a 4-year extension (2021-2024) to their current contracts. Clark gets 70M in new money, while Heyward gets 65M. Since Heyward makes around 12M this year, some people talk about a 5Y/77M contract, hence the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
