Hard comparison going against Alex T who's been doing it for decades. To be fair - there's just an automatic weirdness, but his arrow could point up. There just isn't a whole lot of room for the host of that show to interject personality. Might just come down to voice IMO. He said he wants the gig.

Jones cap n7mber in 21 is under 5 million, Williams got 3.5, you can get Lindsey and wags for the 1.5 m/yr difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas492 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I watched a YouTube clip yesterday of Aaron Rodgers greatest 10 throws. James Jones caught the majority of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Andrew Brandt - Heard from a Packer player today (not Aaron Rodgers): "So I hear you're the one responsible for us all having big workout bonuses?" Guilty. We could never get guys to stay in the offseason, knew I had to break off salary/other bonus money into workout bonuses to get them to stay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Packer-related media doc claimed the team can convert base-to-bonus unilaterally. An accounting practice, with zero impact on the player payments or timing thereof; so that the team doesn't need the player to sign off on that. This seems perhaps inconsistent with that claim? Either the claim is wrong, and the Packers could NOT convert base-to-bonus without Rodgers approval. Or else, I suppose, perhaps the claim is true and the Packers could have done so, but chose not to for relationship reasons? Didn't want to do so without Aaron's OK?

I don't recall who it was, but they said that majority of the contracts are signed with auto-restructure in the contract. So long as the players isn't paid less or later, teams are allowed to restructure without the approval of the player. It's possible the Packers wanted to restructure Rodgers with the desire to add some dummy years onto the deal, and that would need Rodgers' approval.

It's possible the Packers wanted to restructure Rodgers with the desire to add some dummy years onto the deal, and that would need Rodgers' approval. Adding voidable years, there is no question that teams aren't free to do that without player approval. Simple base-to-bonus conversion, without voidable years extension, is different. The question remains open whether that really is allowable or not. CW, your note that "majority of the contracts are signed with auto-restructure in the contract" suggests that it may require a voluntary inclusion? "Majority" is not universal, and doesn't suggest that the CBA gives teams that right without a voluntary contractual permission. I could easily see why a big-ticket QB would NOT want to sign that permission in, for obvious leverage reasons. If I was Rodgers' agent, I'd not have voluntarily given the base-to-bonus option to the team. Facing management with a large cap hit is good leverage for getting an extension; so why would the agent have given that away unnecessarily, if it's not actually in the CBA?
