Good for Rodgers bad for Love.

Rodgers pulled of a heist that nails the fantasy that he’s in it for anything other than himself deader than any doornail.

In doing so he very clearly exposed the bankruptcy of this FO. His contract and then 75 million In dead cap will eat up projected post tv contract cap growth on its own until 2026. The team will have a brief benefit this year and then an aging core and younger, cheaper overall every year till the explosion in 2024 or sooner if Rodgers retires or is hurt.

Then comes the precipice and what follows will be a scorched earth that little can now prevent. All that for a dubious chance at a run back this year. The entire FO should be run out of town followed by the board.

Cant turn off the fandom, but I can tune out of the wishful denial that this is anything other than the most idiotic disaster ever perpetrated by a Packers leadership.

So long, and thanks for all the good years. Rationality has departed and something wicked this way comes.

Nags- Agree with you 100% concerning the OL switch to Billy Turner replacing Yosh at LT. In the most important game of the year, where Yosh proved himself capable and the line having good chemistry, we now find out that Billy had an injury. I never understood it at the time and now finding this out on your show has my anger percolating from the depths of my soul all over again. I will never listen to this show again,,,,,,, until tomorrow same Pack time- same Pack channel.

Rodgers was misleading and deceitful again. 50 million a year was categorically false . Actually it was exact except that was new money and he still got next years salary also. 61 million a year. Aaron used car salesman personality. Should have traded him when they could. BTW 2024 dead cap 74 million

Question: when Aaron Rodgers retires will they give him a name on the Ring of Honor at Lambeau? If so, maybe take the name down temporarily for every home playoff game...seems only fitting.

Dark day for Green Bay!
I don't know how I'm going to root for a team led by a jerk quarterback exalted by a groveling management for the indefinite future.
The cache of character accumulated by the Packers at such great effort for more than a century has been largely raided by an arrogant egotist who has manipulated most of the attention and money of the team, and assumed an unsettling dominance over the organization.
Aaron Rodgers has increasingly become a loser on and off the field, and an eerie embarrassment to all who care about the Packers. His weird musings have become unbearable, but will now continue unabated.
***
Even winning a Super Bowl under these selfish and superficial conditions would be highly unsatisfying, because these conditions are so sickening.
Another reminder to me to not get overly attached to the things of this world of corruption and disappointment and darkness.
Unlike so many others suffering severely in our country and across the world, Rodgers has just about everything going for him. Yet he responds as a malcontent absorbed almost entirely in his own delusions of grandeur, dragging down those around him. Thus, even the refuge of sports is poisoned.
Our only hope is a Rodgers who somehow finds a significant measure of humility, and in the process regains the sad loss of much of his humanity.

To whom the enablers are:

enablers:
One who helps something to happen.
One who encourages a bad habit in another by his or her behaviour.
One who gives someone else the power to behave in a certain way.

Thanks

Imagine the audacity of a club giving their 17 year FHOF QB a contract extension. How %'in dare they. SMH

How are we arriving at the 75 million in dead cap that is being posted in here? I have seen a lot of posts about this contract, but I have yet to hear a consistent report. I have seen this posted as a 3 yr $150 million fully guaranteed contract in one post, and a 3 yr 150 million with 2 years guaranteed upon signing in another.

Is the $75 million dead cap hit assuming Rodgers doesn't play out the full contract? This is all coming from the same people who originally reported it was a 4 year $200 million contract, so forgive me if I wait for more info before jumping to conclusions.

Hopefully TGR can clear it up. It would be nice know the details. What's the signing bonus? Are the dummy years the same as void years, and if so, why not just call them void years like they do with every other contract they report on? What are the checks and balances for both the Packers and Rodgers down the road if things aren't working out?

The only thing that is being consistently reported is the cap hits, which do appear to have opened up significant cap space as promised.
2022 = $28.5
2023 = $31.6
2024 = $40.7
