vike daddy Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 The Green Bay Packers have made a significant long-term contract offer to Aaron Rodgers that would alter the quarterback market, a source told ESPN. Terms of a potential new contract could always change, but a three- or four-year deal would help Green Bay's salary-cap situation while giving Rodgers, 38, contractual clarity well into his 40s. Green Bay is more than $27 million over the cap just nine days before the start of the new league year. The Packers were expected to offer Rodgers a new deal at some point this offseason, with the dual intention of getting under the salary cap and also providing market-level compensation for the two-time reigning league MVP. The Broncos also are lurking as a potential contender to land Rodgers, with a source telling ESPN that Denver is willing to compete to acquire him either through a new contract or draft-pick compensation. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33445299/aaron-rodgers-contract-offer-green-bay-packers-alter-qb-market-source-says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 "Alter the market". What does that mean, they are going to offer him an 11-year deal (1 more than what Mahomes got) with 5 years or more of void years? Which I imagine would hurt them, as I suggested, long after he's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess since other players have failed accomplishing that, good for him. Kirk is one of a handful that have tried to do that (he tried in Washington). Which means if Aaron does get that, it opens the door for Kirk to try that here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I wonder how Packers fans feel about this. Weren't a lot of them ready to move on? Also what kind of trade value does Love have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I’m very curious as to what the salary cap is going to jump to in 2023. With as fast as these contracts are rising, the cap has to go up monumentally for teams to keep pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The structure of A-Rodg's deal will tell us a lot about that too, considering the teams generally have a pretty good idea on where the cap is going in a few years...and with the new TV/streaming deals, I imagine it will go up pretty rapidly. Just as long as there isn't some new pandemic. 😉 Edited March 8, 2022 by swede700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Unless Adams comes to terms on a new long term deal quickly, this will likely mean a few cuts are coming in Green Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like in the post that @Krauser referenced on Twitter, I would expect that it probably will...and be tied directly to the same 4 years as Aaron got.

viking Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 With 50m going to Rodgers and 20M going to Adams how does the Packers salary cap look? Surely they're gonna have to have big losses over the rest of the roster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
