While a star quarterback and coach have to form some kind of partnership, there still needs to be a line separating who’s in charge. With the lengths the Packers have gone to convince Rodgers to stay – giving him a voice in personnel, and the huge contract extension last March that has not aged well – you can bet a lot of Packers players feel like Rodgers is running the show. That undercuts LaFleur’s authority and makes for an unhealthy locker-room dynamic." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Family Ghost} Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Hopefully Ross Tucker is right. It's time for the Packers to take back their franchise from #12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How things go with Jordan Love at the helm will tell us a lot. Based on the one start Love received it seemed the coach was not able to get him in a position to win games. Love has reportedly blossomed a bit, so not excuses this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetana34 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Are people really thinking it would take a yearly average of 30 million-ish a year to retain Love? That's crazy talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will get a more reasonable contract until he proves himself for a few years as a starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You start in the NFL on a non rookie deal, you make 30m. Just this time a year ago nobody was confident he'd ever be a quality QB. Fast forward a year, all we got to see was one quarter of play against Philly, some hearsay from Aaron Jones, and now we're talking 30 million a year? I don't see it. Could see him getting a two year deal worth 40 million total rather than exercising the 5th year option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Penske Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 In his interview today when he said after "18 years in GB It will always be home" and the look on his face made me think he already knows or has been told GB is going younger and he needs to decide if he wants to play elsewhere now. But as with everything involving this situation it seems to change frequently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You start in the NFL on a non rookie deal, you make 30m. Plus the new TV deal money is going to shoot the cap up so those QB contracts are just going to get more lucrative. $30M now might be an absolute bargain once 2025 rolls around.

Once he is the starter, you aren't getting him for less than 30m per, Tannehill is on the cheapest 2nd deal in the league at 29.5, and that was signed years ago. Otherwise he'll ride out the 5th year option for 20m, bet on himself and get an extension in 2024. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
