I'm super confused. Why are people saying Aaron Rodgers would be walking away from $59 million while also acknowledging the Packers will have $40 million dead cap no matter Rodgers does? If he retires, why the hell do the Packers still have to pay?

Aaron Rodgers signed a 3 year, $150,815,000 contract with the Green Bay Packers, including a $40,800,000 signing bonus, $150,815,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $50,271,667.

n 2023, Rodgers will earn a base salary of $1,165,000, a signing bonus of $58,300,000 and a workout bonus of $50,000, while carrying a cap hit of $31,623,568 and a dead cap value of $99,778,568.

For now, as presently structured, I believe it breaks down like this:

He stays: The 31 million dollar figure

He is traded or retires: The 40 million dollar figure 

He is cut: The 99 million dollar figure

As we look at our current cap room, keep in mind 9 million of that room will go away if we trade him. 31 million with him, 40 million without him. 

Kinda like the USDA paying farmers to not grow corn, 😆

They Packers don't have to pay cash, BECAUSE they have already paid the cash. The cash issue is resolved and no issues there other than confusion.


The issue is that the Packers are going by NFL rules and therefore have not yet accounted for that cash that has already been paid out. They have to account for it based on the NFL accounting rules, which if Rodgers leaves the teams would say it needs to be paid right away.


So if he retires, they're not paying any more, just accounting for what they have previously already paid.

Based on what I posted in opening post -- the math doesn't add up, unless 2023 is including money from previous contract.

EQ,

This is an excellent write-up.  Thank you for posting.

It makes me hope for a trade more than I had otherwise.

Yeah, at this point I think a trade (or retirement) is necessary. Especially if they have any hope that Jordan Love is going to be the guy. If Rodgers stays this year, and retires next, they may lose Love (will he demand a trade?), won't get any compensation for Rodgers, and will have to deal with the cap hit for a few years.

If Rodgers gets traded this year, there's that immediate cap hit, but they can take it with Love's $4m, and absorb a lot of cap charges they've been putting into the future next year with Love's 5th year option at $20m. This also gives them 2 years of Jordan Love starting at an average of 12m a year (cap wise) to see he's if he's a guy they should sign to a contract in the $40m + per year range in 2025 - which is what he'll be asking for if he appears to be an above average starter.

In my view, I think they probably need to make this trade, even if it's for a conditional 7th round pick. Maybe it's not that dire, but that's how it reads to me. This makes me think they probably won't get a huge haul for Rodgers from the Jets. Hopefully at least 2x 2nd round picks though.

I'm seeing a lot of people on Twitter saying how bad of a move this will be for the Jets, because they have to take on a $60m cap hit. But from what I understand, that's not the situation. I think they'll take on a ~$15m cap hit, with a hit in the $32m range next year and no guarantees for injury. Assuming the contract isn't restructured, that sounds extremely reasonable from the Jet's perspective for a guy like Rodgers, even if it's just for a 1-2 year rental.

The $59 millions is cash charge.
$15.7 million is the cap charge. 

Reports say Woody wants Packers to chip in on the cash charge.

The 40 million figure had to do with accelerated signing bonus and accelerated restructure bonus payments if traded.

How do we arrive at the 40 million if Rodgers signed some paper kicking the 14.575 off our dead money hit? 

That's 
my 
question

Mucky Tundra (13h) : that was from the 29th but I've seen other combs (including Rhyan@C)
Mucky Tundra (13h) : @ByRyanWood Without Elgton Jenkins and Zach Tom, #Packers starting OL: Rasheed Walker, Jordan Morgan, Josh Myers, Sean Rhyan, Andre Dillard.
Martha Careful (17h) : I have never seen an OTA, but who is lining up at LT and RG with starters? or is it all individual drills?
Zero2Cool (23h) : Bears are the first team to be selected for Hard Knocks
dfosterf (29-May) : Andy Herman and his Pack a day podcast put up GB strengths yesterday. This morning he did weaknesses. They are both very good.
Zero2Cool (25-May) : Yes.
beast (24-May) : Does he say what it is?
Zero2Cool (22-May) : Christian Watson believes he has discovered the root cause his soft-tissue leg injuries
Zero2Cool (22-May) : Savage played last half of season with tear in rotator cuff
Zero2Cool (22-May) : SISSIES!!!!
Mucky Tundra (22-May) : Sounds like both Kraft and Tom were injuried before OTAs began
buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.
buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),
Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.
beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player
Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity
Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.
CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.
buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4
Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills
Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,
Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th
Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
