Arthur Penske Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I know he's talented but I wouldn't give that up for Lamar with the way he's acting. Then agian, I wouldn't have given it up for Wilson, Watson, etc, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namath said he'd be ok with it, I just don't think Rodgers would do it. My guess is he'd ask for his old Cal #8. I don't think Rodgers would give a **** about Namath lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL allows the selling team to retain up to 50% of a players salary. I'm not sure. Salary cap wise Aaron's contract is a bargain for an acquiring team. It's under 16 mil for '23, and around 31 mil for '24. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints and Carr probably came to an agreement when the Raiders gave him permission to negotiate. Carr probably did the mandatory tour so it didn't look like they agreed and then kept any potential picks for appearances. I do like your thinking though. Carr was a FA, he didn't need permission. No trade there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was meeting with the Saints he was still under contract to the Raiders. There was potential for a trade, but then Carr announced he would be letting his contract run out. Why help out the Raiders if you are Carr. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransientTexan Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 34 minutes ago, NFLGURU said: Hearing unconfirmed that the Jets don't want to take on all of Rodgers contract, and would lose some players if they do. If my understanding of the contract (as listed by Spotrac) is correct, here are what the NYJ cap hits would be: Scenario #1: GB trades before exercising 2023 option, AR plays 1yr w/ NYJ and then retires or is cut 2023 hit= $15.79m 2024 hit= $43.73m (accelerated prorations) 2025 hit= $0 end result is 1yr of play at $59.53m AAV cash Scenario #2: GB trades before exercising 2023 option, AR plays 2yr w/ NYJ and then retires or is cut 2023 hit= $15.79m 2024 hit= $32.54m 2025 hit= $60.48m (accelerated prorations) end result is 2yr of play at $54.4m AAV cash Scenario #3: GB trades after exercising 2023 option, AR plays 1yr w/ NYJ and then retires or is cut 2023 hit= $1.22m 2024 hit= $0 (NYJ would have declined 2024 option bonus, which converts it to $47m base salary, but this is non-guaranteed I think??) 2025 hit= $0 end result is 1yr of play at $1.2m AAV cash Scenario #4: GB trades after exercising 2023 option, AR plays 2yr w/ NYJ and then retires or is cut 2023 hit= $1.22m 2024 hit= $17.97m 2025 hit= $31.34m (accelerated prorations) end result is 2yr of play at $25.3m AAV cash ————————- So I’m sure the discussion is just about whether GB exercises the 2023 option before the trade (I don’t think they’re allowed to exercise it until March 17th). As a middle ground (if they don’t want to wait that long), I assume they can trade before exercising the option, while agreeing to pay NYJ some portion of the money to offset the hit & reduce the cash numbers listed in scenarios #1 & #2. so depending on which of the scenarios the NYJ (or some other team) go with, that would affect how much draft capital they are willing to include in the trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 2 hours ago, Arthur Penske said: Can’t the Ravens just match it and use that as a tool to set Lamar’s market though? Yes, this has been suggested as their current strategy to prove to Lamar that they're offering the best package. They're essentially betting that the Browns are the leagues dumbest team and that no one is going to match the Watson contract that Lamar wants.

This contract was amazing when you think about how tradable it became after just one season. Really hats off to Russ Ball on this one.
