Option 1: Rodgers trade happens. We get whatever for compensation and we start the cap healing process with Love under center, presumably 5'th year option is picked up. Option 2: Rodgers retires. No trade compensation. Ugly, ugly cap situation. Love starts and presumably gets a 5'th year option or similar starters deal. Option 3: Rodgers comes back, re-does his deal to create some room. Love is the backup. He may not be happy, but it is what it is. Love's 5'th year is picked up, it is what it is. Love starts next year. Cap hit/health won't be as good, but may be manageable? I know that Option 3 is not ideal, but in your mind, can that work from a cap perspective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern for him coming back to GB is a mail it in, go through the motions approach all season. He's not going to be vested in this team. I think the Packers know that.

Rodgers option bonus leave $45M in dead cap, and his signing bonus would leave another $24M in dead cap that would all have to go on to the 2024 cap. Love's $20M salary would be that year too. So $89M in the QB room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Murphy making it completely obvious that they want Love behind center in 2023 here. Same stuff that was quoted above but he keeps saying "what we want." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 And what they want is Rodgers to take a MASSIVE pay cut so we can actually put some legit players around him to make a legit last hurrah. I’m perfectly okay with Rodgers coming back at 10% of the cap, trading Love, signing one premier offensive skill and the best defender we can afford after. But I am not okay with Rodgers and Love both coming back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the die is cast. Clearly the Packers have indicated to AR they want to move on. How and with what words - who cares. They want to cut the cord. Is AR gonna force himself back on them? I seriously doubt it. Is he gonna retire? I dont think so. It's gonna happen....some way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that scenario where Rodgers returns, extending Love without having seen him for more than spot play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
