Prob has top notch guys handling his money making sure his money is turning into more money. There becomes a time where you have so much money that it doesn’t really matter anymore. He’s likely at that point. The money may incentivize him to play to some extent but he certainly doesn’t need it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Packers are the one’s that purchased a LOTTO ticket in Jordan Love, hoping to hit the jackpot to reset the salary cap. They lost, while also failing to give AR the quality #2 beside Davante Adams or another top line OL to protect him. So many 1st round picks on defense. Very similar to the Jets B4 JD! Packers offense sputtered in the playoffs when teams took away DA and left Rodgers with a WR group similar the the Titans, sans AJB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrebetOverKeyshawn Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I think there’s a 25% chance Jets make a run at Rodgers or Jackson, it’s too enticing for a GM feeling the heat to not add a talent like that with the defense and young pieces already in place. These teams have an infinite amount of ways to manipulate the cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extmenace Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 https://overthecap.com/looking-ahead-to-the-packers-options-with-aaron-rodgers Posted on October 24, 2022 With the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers stumbling through the 2022 season I have started to get a number of questions pertaining to Rodgers and his contract. Rodgers signed a massive three year contract worth $150.8 million with virtually the entire contract guaranteed for injury and over $100 million fully guaranteed. Due to the size of the contract it is a complex deal and questions are being asked about his future and the Packers options with the salary cap, so I will try to explain the contract as best as possible given the information I have on the deal. Rodgers currently has a salary cap charge of $31.6 million in 2023. $59.465 million of his $59.515 million salary for the year is already guaranteed. The Packers have the option to pay that salary out as a $58.3 million option bonus and a $1.165 million salary in order to drive his cap charge to the $31.6 million figure. The timing of the option works in the Packers favor for both trades and/or potential retirement as the official option decision does not have to happen until the start of the 2023 regular season. What Happens in Aaron Rodgers Retires? If Rodgers were to walk away he would forfeit all his rights to the $59.465 million in guaranteed salary for next year. In order to best accommodate the hit on the salary cap my assumption would be that the Packers and Rodgers would sign a new contract where the option bonus was eliminated and just a $1.165 salary remained. That would reduce Rodgers salary cap charge to $16,998,750 and they would carry him on the roster as a procedural move until June 2nd. At that point they would put him on the retired list. The salary cap charge in that case would be $15,833,570 in 2023 and $24,480,000 in 2024. If they did not do that and processed the retirement right away they would take a salary cap hit of $40,313,570 in 2023 but none in 2024. The Packers have no cap space next year so it would seem more likely that they take the first approach. What Happens if the Packers Trade Aaron Rodgers? Rodgers does not have a no trade clause in his contract so he could be traded to a team as well. The timing of the option should give the Packers all the way until the end of training camp to move him. The cap charge here would depend on when he was traded. If Rodgers were to be traded prior to June 1st the Packers would take on a $40,313,750 cap hit in 2023. If he was traded after June 1st it would be a $15,833,570 cap hit in 2023 with $24,480,000 due in 2024. This assumes that the Packers did not exercise the option before the trade. If the option is exercised then the trade number spikes to nearly $100 million. There should be no need to exercise the option until the last possible day. For the team acquiring Rodgers they would be on the hook for the salary for the year. The cap charge would be $59,515,000 if they do not exercise his option and $15.79 million if they were to exercise the option. Rodgers has an injury guarantee of $49.25 million for 2024 but that does not become fully guaranteed until 5 days after the 2023 Super Bowl. If Rodgers was cut after 2023 it would cost the team $43.725 million on the 2024 cap. If he retired they could split that as $14.575 million in 2024 and $29.15 million in 2025 using a similar June 2nd date as mentioned above in the retirement option. Can Aaron Rodgers be Cut? No that is not a feasible option. Because his salary next year is fully guaranteed the Packers would take on over $99 million in dead money. While they could officially pick up the option and split that across 2023 and 2024 it would be about $31 million in dead money in 2023 and then $68.2 million coming in 2024.

Popular Post JetPotato Posted January 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2023 You don't want him to retire if you're a Jets fan, because he can fill a spot for some other team that we'll be competing with otherwise for a veteran QB.

TuscanyTile2 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Speaking of Aaron Rodgers, the year he was drafted (24th overall in 2005), the Jets' first pick that year (which came in the 2nd round) was Mike Nugent.

Rodgers doesn't have kids He doesnt think long term like that, he is kind of an a-hole He will return to GB. He's just learning from another a-hole in Ben Roethlisberger that once you are old and under a massive contract, your only move is to threaten to retire every year for some organizational leverage. They will bring in a fancy free agent at WR or TE, in an effort to get him to "change his mind" and return. (even though he was going to return anyway) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bla bla bla Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I'm not sure Aaron is willing to do what Tom did to get another ring (take a lower salary) The relationship between him and Zach is intriguing enough that it would allow us to go for a ring but also keep Zach. I just don't know how you have the contract make sense. 2/15 - Carr 3/15 - Jimmy G 3/18 - Mike White 6/1 - Rodgers/Love Order of important dates for QBs. 1 of these 5 will be our starter IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I've come to hate Aaron Rodgers after having a monster man crush on him for a very long time. I think I could get over it and let him back in my life if the Jets traded for him. It could be a good thing for him too, he doesnt seem very energized to play for GB anymore and I feel like that was a weak way to go out and he might want redemption after he does some hallucinogenic drugs in the offseason.

I don't think he would cost that much draft capital. Given his age and loose commitment (he's not going to change his tune on this), you're going into it knowing it could only be for a single season. I'm guessing it would take a first round pick at the least, but 3 is a stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
