I'll blame 12 for his **** play and his **** demeanor and his **** ego then. Welcome to having an aging star QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It opens the door for Rodgers to say "Trade me to San Fran, I'm not going anywhere else". What's your next move, Gute? I'm not sure about the next move, but I'd say Brady retiring pretty much ensures that Rodgers doesn't retire- sharing the spotlight and all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB should actually be sitting pretty good in terms of cap in 2024, even if they restructure some guys this season. 2024 is your "go for it" year with Love (assuming he shows promise in 2023). 2023 is set up to be a go-for-it season with our 3rd place schedule. We saw that Philly got a cake walk to the SB because of the #1 seed this year. I wouldn't mortgage 2023 chances if I'm looking at this.

I just think it's too much to ask that much from Love in his first year as a starter. Hell, even in 2008, Rodgers went 6-10 in the first year before taking off. If Love starts this season, I am tempering my expectations to a .500 type of year. I would actually try to save money in 2023 (if you go with Love) and then be more active in FA for 2024 and beyond.

Don’t care how much extra it costs to get him off the team before June 1st. Couldn't they do a trade and mark it as post June 1st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go along with this idea, I'd actually be somewhat OK with getting 2024 picks instead of 2023 picks in a trade. It spreads out the cap hit if Rodgers is traded post June 1, and allows GB a little more flexibility if Love is a complete bust. If Love goes 4-13 and you're picking 3rd in the draft but have an extra first rounder, you have some room to move up a few spots to get someone like Caleb Williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he can retire or stay in GB and have the entire GB fan base thinks he's an asshat. Don't think he'll let his ego go the way of Brett Favre.

Have the other team go through the motions of making picks/trades for us in those slots. Seems like this is what happens in the NBA draft, although I could be wrong about that point.

There's literally nothing to restructure. The massive dead cap is all from previous restructures. The future massive dead cap is already guaranteed to Rodgers, now the game is all about figuring out which team will pay it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
15412 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Someone told me in an interview Andrew Brandt said there is a way for the Packers to spread the cap hit even if they traded him before June, say in April. Not true, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
