Mox Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 28 minutes ago, MacReady said: If he took less money and didn't demand a new contract every time a different QB got a new deal he'd be getting too much hate. But... Tsk... Every time a QB got a new deal he bitched and moaned and got a raise years (plural) before his contract was up. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes hasn't said **** about getting a raise and he's still waking up with his second Super Bowl win, third Super Bowl appearance. Rodgers gets just the right amount of hate. If you take a sack on 4th down to protect your legacy, your legacy should be a QB who cared more about himself than his team. If you heave the ball 40 yards over a receiver's head to protect your legacy, your legacy should be a QB who cared more about himself than his team. If you get butthurt about each new QB getting paid more than you, your legacy should be a QB who cared more about himself than his team. If you wiggle your way into getting control of your team's roster and insist on getting Randall Cobb back and keeping your inordinately large amount of money instead of taking a pay cut to get a legitimate receiver, your legacy should be a QB who cared more about himself than his team. If you get your head coach fired by throwing to open receiver's feet instead of their hands, your legacy should be a QB who cared more about himself than his team. If you refuse to show up to OTAs and every team activity you can get out of and refuse to play in the preseason when your team can't afford a veteran receiver because you're making too much money so instead they have to rely on two rookies who desperately need time to get used to your insanely meticulous needs, your legacy should be a QB who cared more about himself than his team. Brett Favre MULTIPLE times took WAY LESS than he was worth in his era of football and frequently took pay cuts to help the team. Rodgers ONCE converted money into a signing bonus and saved his team 8 million dollars. That's it. Brett Favre the football player is a bigger Packer legend than Rodgers ever could be. Dude suffered through what would get NFL players arrested and never missed a game, ALWAYS gave his young receivers chances at the cost of his own legacy, being remembered as an interception king when he had rosters of Chatman, Driver, Ferguson and no offensive line... Rodgers was a selfish, myopic, self-centered individual who couldn't see beyond himself in a sport that requires 11 players at any given time on the field and his legacy suffered due to his selfishness, vanity and ego. This is all mostly true. I still think he gets too much hate considering what he did do for Green Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the "reworked" is referring to? if he is just thinking the option bonus was supposed to be a lump sum payment and it now being reported as being prorated.... that was always the case and was not a rework. Option bonus have that concept built into them as the "option". The options are... if not exercised by a set date it is accounted for in the current year for cap purposes if exercised, it gets paid out over the remaining years of the contract up to a max of 5 (like a signing bonus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire12 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Thinking about the process for today... Rodgers takes physical with NYJ possible contract modifications does Rodgers agree to reduce the option bonus amount? move some money into a guaranteed base salary say the $58.3M is split... $30M as signing bonus and $28M as guaranteed base salary for 2024 this would reduce the cap hit for NYJ and allow them to keep or add some other players, but Rodgers is not giving up any money in the long run move the 2024 option bonus date from mid Feb (or whenever it is) to mid summer? give him more flexibility if he would want to request a trade to a new team in 2024. NYJ would not be on the hook for the 2024 base salary guarantee or the 2024 option bonus amount. NYJ would just have the remaining prorated amount from the 2023 option bonus leaving the option bonus as is might limit his options and control over where he might want to play Paperwork for trade gets sent to league office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read up on it more and it appears this doesn't change anything on GB's end. Still what we expected, about a $40m hit this season and $0 next year.

Packer_ESP Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Cap hit for GB can't be lowered from 40M. That money is 7M from 2021 signing bonus and 33M from the 2022 signing bonus - it's money already paid, so it will be accelerated as soon as he leaves the team, no way around it. Only way would be post-June but there's nothing that can be done there except actually delaying the trade till June, which will not happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Packers' media people should reenact this exact same video with Jordan Love. Getting out the car, slow motion, walks in and is greeted by Gute, LaFleur and Murphy. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
