Andrew Brandt -   Now it's time to for the Bucs to pay the piper:
Amount Tom Brady will count on their 2023 Cap: $35.1 million.
2nd biggest ever dead money charge (behind Ryan/Falcons $40 million).

Rodgers says, hold my beer.

He is finally going to beat Brady at something.

They have 55 million of cap space to clear and not a lot of places to clear it.

They are going to be a very bad football team next year.

The Packers will never trade Rodgers to the 49ers, that would be on the level of TT trading Favre to the Bears or Vikings. It isn't happening.  

Besides, SF has no 1st or 2nd round picks this year to offer us.  We'd be better off with a different trading partner - if Gute and company are ready to move on.

Would you seriously turn down a trade offer from the Niners if it was the "best" offer? Likely not to happen anyways given their lack of draft capital, but just generally, would you?

My idiot brain was trying to figure out what veteran players we could take in lieu of picks.

Like cap space doesn't matter.  Idiot brain.

Yes, and the Packers would also. Just like they took less from the Jets for Favre to get him out of the NFC, they will do the same in this situation if a trade does actually happen.

Sean Payton might not look nearly as smart in Denver. 

1.  They've traded away 3 1st-rounders and 3 2nd-rounders to get Russell and Payton.  Entering a bad team, how is he going to upgrade the existing talent? 

2.  And what about Russ?  Is he a smart-coach away from being the high-end guy he used to be?  Or is he just an old, declining, bad QB who doesn't have the legs and explosion to expose defenses with his scrambling, and who really isn't that accurate of a thrower at this stage?  

I think Payton may be at risk of discovering that he just won't have the QB or the talent to make it work.

Whoever gives us the best offer and helps us rebuild as best we can, I want that regardless of how Rodgers may (or may not) help them short-term.  

Rodgers is old and pretty washed.  He's not going to do us much harm, or for long, if he's in the conference.   I'd not worry about what short-term help (if any) that Rodgers adds to some other team. 

Under best of circumstances, it's going to take some time for the Packers to climb back up.  Huge short-term cap horror, and even if love hypothetically becomes very good eventually, he's not taking us to Super Bowl immediately.  

By the time we'll hypothetically get back into contention, a Rodgers-led team will not be the team keeping us out of the Super Bowl.  

Just take the best offer and get as good as you can as fast as you can.
