2020, 2021 and 2023 are our best chances at Super Bowl wins given Aaron's contract and the expected cap increases.  2023, if Rodgers is even Peyton Manning penultimate season form, is going to give us an incredibly strong chance at winning it all. 

You may be right, but a lot of that hinges on finding 2 absolute difference makers in this 2019 draft and some other notable upgrades as well.   This draft is SOOOO important for those last few years of the Rodgers contract.   As it currently stands, GB is never above the league average in cap space for the next 4 years

Those two first round draft picks are our greatest hope.  If we get two solid to good to great players on their rookie contracts to help reduce Aaron's cap hit, it would be enough to overcome that handicap.

NY Post:

Landon Collins wants to return to the Giants, the team that moved up in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft to take him out of Alabama then made him a fixture in their defensive backfield. Collins’ four-year contract is up and he knows the Giants can keep him off the free agent market by slapping the franchise tag on him. If that is the route the Giants take, it would guarantee Collins about $11 million for the 2019 season, but prevent him from striking a long-term deal with another team. Players around the league have balked at this scenario and refused to report. Collins, though, sounds as if he is ready for whatever comes his way.

Rapoport:

Sources: The Jets are expected to interview former Packers coach Mike McCarthy for their vacant head coach position. NYJ has one of the more coveted jobs and McCarthy would get to work with Sam Darnold. This is his first known interview.

The money/ bonus acceleration is a killer for Pitt, for GB it would be around $ 12M/ year in salary

Yeah I highly doubt they do it. But if Brown were to skip meeting etc then better off the team than on it. Imagine him and rodgers tho hahaha they would never get along

Interesting. That's a sink/swim environment in New York, opposite of GB. Mac would either turn that franchise around in 1-2 years or he'll be thrown out.
