Really don't want a situation where he's deeply disgruntled the year after we do away with a disgruntled QB. Would obviously love to have him back as well but a full reset wouldn't bother me a bit. If this season goes south the Packers could consider dealing him at the trade deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Identify your core and do not give out those expensive third contracts to aging, expensive and often very talented vets. If you play it right you have a young up and comer and the compensatory system will soften the blow. Easier said than done and if you mess up, you have a giant hole at safety while Charles Woodson is still balling for someone else. You or anyone else on this forum does not have a strong understanding of the cap and it’s workings. Look at what KC is doing for crying out loud.

Leader Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Andrew Brandt - I'm old enough to remember when Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers were getting traded this offseason. #relax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at what KC is doing for crying out loud. Yah, plenty of folks on here have a very deep understanding of how the salary cap works. @CWood21 @Packerraymond I mean, these two post early and often about how contracts work and how they fit into the cap. Cwood did an amazing breakdown the year we signed P, Z, Amos and Turner. Concerning KC.... Look at what Mahomes is costing under the cap right now. I think it is like 4%. Then look at GB with Rodgers, 20%. No doubt we retain 'Vante if Rodgers reduces his cap hit by 16%. Then look at KC on Spotrac. They aren't paying any o-lineman anything. Heck, Frank Clark is their biggest cap hit. Tyreke Hill is counting 2X against the cap what Mahomes is. Some ILB named Hitchens is making more than Mahomes against the cap this year. Even Jones and Kelce are underpaid. But those bills will come due. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltarich87 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Nothing too surprising regarding the Davante situation but it won't stop the Packers from getting dunked on left and right by the media and fans. This is all part of the negotiation process. We heard the same stuff last year regarding Bak and Aaron Jones and how they ended talks only to eventually come to an agreement later. Truth of the matter is this though....without knowing Rodgers future, GB wouldn't be able to figure out the structuring of the Davante deal or even if it's worth it. We already know how bad their cap situation is for 2022 and without a Rodgers restructure/extension, it complicates things further. If Rodgers is hellbent on not being here, it makes little sense for GB make a soon to be 29 yr old WR the highest paid at his position with the uncertainty of their QB situation.

Look at what KC is doing for crying out loud. I’m sure you know more than anyone here could possibly know but I feel safe in assuming you don’t know as much as Gute or Ball. KC has made some brilliant cap moves and draft picks but they will still have to pay the piper. Also, their currently highest paid player might be a terrible person and be in legal trouble. It does not make any sense to be crying out loud about players we have under contract going into the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFLGURU Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Part of the issue with Adams besides Rodgers future in Green Bay is WR DeAndre Hopkins is getting around $27 mill. The next 3 WRs are making around $20 mill. Packers likely view Hopkins as an outlier. Adams may want more than that? Thats a pretty big difference in price. No wonder they shut it down for now.

And I’m sure both of them would agree. These guys are paid quite well. Edited July 23, 2021 by Rainmaker90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's young, they expect him to be there for at least 7-10 years. So his contract is a series of massive roster bonuses that they can either choose to pay and take the cap hit this year, or convert to SB and spread it out over the course of the contract. While he's young, they'll keep pushing the money out. The day will come where they won't. Rodgers/Adams situation is not comparable as they are not young for their respective positions. You cant go dumping huge roster bonuses out there and creating massive dead cap hits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
