Yes, playing with his contract is the only real option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does Michael Rodney get to keep advertising here for free? @Packerraymond @CWood21 @incognito_man lol told ya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFLGURU Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 The best option is to trade Rodgers after Jun 1. The guy is 37 years old. Is there anybody who really thinks after this fiasco, the Packers are winning a SB?? Its not happening. And you just got a MVP performance out of him and still couldn't get there. Time to cut bait.

TransientTexan Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 54 minutes ago, skibrett15 said: Doing a trade after June 1 just spreads the 38M over 2 years. Might be better to just take our lumps now, and suck harder and get a better pick than to have another 17M in rodgers charges next offseason as well. If Rodgers is traded June 1, honestly this team should be gutted It really makes zero difference in 2022 cap space if they trade him pre-June-1st or post-June-1st. They could trade him post- and rollover all his 2021 cap savings to 2022, cancelling out the extra 2022 dead money charges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, assuming the only thing we receive is future draft picks. Any player assets would likely not fit, unless D.Adams is included in trade.

squire12 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 58 minutes ago, incognito_man said: If we don't have the cap space to trade him we wouldn't have the cap space to keep him. It's a difference of less than a million I think. We can afford to trade him this year if we wanted to before June 1st, but it makes everything else in 2021 tight. The trade off is taking that $16 mil hit in 2021 or 2022. trading rodgers before June 1st adds $1.15M in cap charge for GB. So yes, then can but it adds to the cap charge. After June 1st is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After June 1st is different. Yes, I understand it. I was correcting you when you said we "couldn't afford it". Because we can afford it. It's virtually the same thing as keeping him.

NFLGURU Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hearing a few things: He doesn't want Gute fired as reported. This has to do with a lot of little things added up. A couple of which are: Job/Contract Security Hes got nothing against Jordan Love. But didn't appreciate not being told. He was pissed about not trading for Will Fuller at the deadline(even though he later had the PED susp) didn't pursue Fuller in FA ( Rodgers contract didn't help). They did pursue Smith Schuster but had no money after Aaron Jones signed. I hear part was taking the ball out of Rodgers hands and kicking the field goal in the NFCCG. Didnt sit well with him. The releases of Kumerow and Jordy. I think he wants a say or they listen to his suggestions in personnel decisions. Sounds like he gets the heisman when he suggests something upstairs. Sounding like a lot of petty stuff added up that he's sick of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets use Amos here as an example, his base salary is 990K this year and the next salary up to replace him on the 51 top salaries would be 780K for a savings of 210K. Wait though, by cutting Amos they would take over 5.4M cap hit for the future money in the contract. Cap hit 5.4M minus 210K cap savings, that one is going to help the Packers on or off the field. I listed some options GB would have in the proposal by Brandt?? on giving Rodgers a bunch more money for 2021 but nothing more down the line. I don't think that is the right thing to do both financially or performance wise on the field 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't need to do anything with the cap. As Randy Moss said, straight cash homie... Packers can increase his take home pay. Brandt talked about it on his pod.

Sounding like a lot of petty stuff added up that he's sick of. Imo that is the only legit gripe. His contract is team friendly on the back end because it paid him huge up front. Roster moves aren't something he's going to get a say on most of the time. It's seriously like he learned all the wrong lessons from the Favre fiasco.
