He's operating under the premise that the Packers can't or don't want to have Rodgers' cap hit larger on the books than what they're currently set to have him for. Right now, Green Bay has about ~$17M in cap space and trading him before June 1st would drop that to just $8.8M in cap space. Fortunately, Green Bay has a couple of ways to open up some notable cap space with a restructure of David Bakhtiari ($7.9M) and trade Darnell Savage ($7.9M) if they want/need more cap space. What about the $40M dead money? I know GB structured the contract such that trading him vs. cutting him would be preferable $ wise. I just don't think they thought it would be before 2024.

The Packers are ~$17M under the cap right now with Rodgers' $32M cap hit. If they trade him, it's an additional $8.7M which would drop their cap space to ~$8.8M.

You also have to remember that the dead money is kind of offset the price for your cheap starter in Love who is like 3.9 mill. So the dead money at 40 plus Love 3.9 is 43.9 mill. So your paying your starting QB 43.9 mill for the year. So it is really not that big of a hit as most people want to push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby816 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 1 hour ago, KimuraGod said: Make it happen JD!!! A lot to read into this…. Jeremiah is close to JD. So that’s worth noting. Also the compensation I believe went down a ton when LV backed out. I said a couple weeks ago that GB didn’t set his price if he wants out. The teams trying to trade for him do. At that time LV and us were looked at as really only his 2 big destinations. With them out. GB likely not wanting to trade him to the NFC at all. It has us with the cards now. JD I think knows that and probably hasn’t made an offer GB can’t refuse, so there’s been no concrete agreement when Rodgers informs us of his decision. I do still think the way we find out Rodgers future is in one announcement. Meaning… if he wants to stay in GB or retire, that’s obviously just 1 announcement and move on. What I don’t expect is for him to announce he wants a trade and let that brew for days in the media. I think if he wants a trade, GB gets that trade done asap. And it’s just one big announcement that Rodgers has been traded to team x. Not separate announcements. Also I think we hear something regarding Rodgers and Carr in the next few days. Make no question they both want a new team before FA opens. To help recruit and build winning rosters. FA opens in 11 days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBS756 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I'd so a 2nd and a compensatory depending on health for Rodgers ... Lets go All in ... show this staff and GM know what theyre doing ... get them secure and then work for the future QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsandI Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 If Jets actually acquired Rodgers then I could only hope that Rodgers would rework on 2024 injury guarantee option. Switching from injury guarantee to player's option will provide some relief of breathing for Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running fast and jumping high/far doesn’t make up for the fact he was like a 54% completion guy in his college career. This is why I hate the combine.

Only Panthers and Saints. Carr meet with the Saints and Jets twice and Panthers once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
