Brit Pack Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I don't normally like Pat, I do find he sucks up to Rodgers too much. But he makes a valid point how come this deal is not being reported as what it is, a 5 year $186m contract with an AAV of $37.2m! For the media purposes they want to report it as a 3 year $150m deal, thus painting the narrative that it is actually a $50m year AAV. That just makes no sense other than for reporters to look good. Take for example Mahomes deal, that was reported as 10 year $450m mega deal, when reality is it is a 5 year $183m deal. He is not going to play the next 5 years with no signing bonus, that contract will get redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2/124. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That like saying Dak signed a 4 year $160m deal, $40m AAV but it pays him out $95 in the first two years so it actually 2 years at $95m. That's my issue the way the deal is being reported fits the narrative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already has his deal for this season, don't think that got ripped up, so 1 year of his current deal, and 2 years of his extension.

Just on there to actually bring down the value and spread cap hits. He's not playing on them, the actual cash is crazy low and the cap hits crazy high. If by some chance he's playing 4 years from now, those will be redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — A week after he announced his return to the franchise, Aaron Rodgers has signed a four-year contract extension with the Green Bay Packers Some news sites are reporting it as such - a five year deal.

You just need to take the L on this. Rodgers is getting 50 AAV, and actually more than that during the years he's actually playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are that good at predicting the future can you tell what lottery numbers to pick next time? Honestly... smh I'm not certain we win another SB with Rodgers but I'm not going to declare it a fact we won't because we haven't since 2010 like so many here are. Past performance is not indicative of future results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers is getting 50 AAV, and actually more than that during the years he's actually playing. It's all about how you want to look at it. I feel then report all deals in the same way. Look at Aaron Jones deal, he is no way making $20m next season. He signed for a reported 4year $48m deal, which in reality is a two year $20m deal with a dead cap hit of $9.5m. He aint seeing the last two years of his deal, he'll be either cut or extended. Again the years he is playing the cap hits are low. It all depends how you want to report it. The years he plays the cap hits are $33m AAV. It's all number shifting. If you want to take the dummy years it looks like a great deal. If you don;t want them it looks like a bad deal. If you want to strip it down to a two year deal it looks really bad. It's all just accounting tricks. Companies do it all the time. Just depends how you want to report it and which narrative it suits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretending this is anything other than a 3 year deal is just not being real here. This is functionally a 3 year/146,178,804 contract with cap hits of 28.5/31.5/40.5/45.5*** ***We're paying the 45.5 the 4th year when he's off the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
