Not buying the notion that the Packers would rather ride this out past June 1 and push some of the cap hit to 2024. 2023 is all about taking as big a portion of their medicine as possible and seeing what development comes from the talent in house. It will be a positive year simply having Love prove to be "the guy" regardless of record. Going 6-11 or 7-10 will be forgivable if Love shows he has the goods. This is definitely the growth and development RESET year. Having a significant asset from the Rodgers return on the field as part of that development this year is logically preferred under the 2023 reset plan. You only get to set a low bar for a year at the most in this league.

We'd start 2024 around net zero in cap space. Rodgers could retire or be traded, and a substantial dead hit (around $70m) would be split between 2024 and 2025. Since the cap goes up between $25m and $30m each of the next two offseasons, this is digestible. We can pretty easily clear about $70m in space next season, which is plenty of space to extend Gary and Love.

For the second question, no. Trading Rodgers gives him a 2023 cap hit of $40.3m. If we activate his option and keep him on the roster, his 2023 cap hit is only $31.6m.

Thx Sandy

I appreciate so many of your posts but this notion that it's OK to keep kicking the can down the road and eat up cap increases is what got us into this cap mess we are in. We need to clean this **** up and quit with the void years and big balloon payments to guys at the end of their career. We know those will become big, dead cap hits. It's a shell game. 

Drives me crazy the idea we'll worry about it later. 

It's one thing to be doing this with a FEW elite players, but when it's Cobb, Lewis, Lowry, Amos, Tonyan, Reed etc., etc. It's just bad business.
