I say give him something like a 10 year $180 million guaranteed contract. It's cap friendly, its long-term and even when he retires he'll be cashing in.

GREEN BAY – If the Green Bay Packers thought signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a record-setting contract extension was simply going to take writing him a check — albeit one that could cover the yearly budget for the city of Brookfield — their hopes were crushed March 15.

That's the day free agent Kirk Cousins signed a fully guaranteed three-year, $84 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings, completely changing the landscape for franchise quarterback contracts.

Throughout the NFL, it’s well-known the Packers have a fundamental way of structuring contracts. Their veteran deals traditionally include a signing bonus and no other guaranteed money in the contract.

When Rodgers signed a five-year, $110 million contract extension in April 2013, the Packers handed over a signing bonus of $35 million and guaranteed roster bonuses of $9.5 million in 2014 and ’15, raising the total amount of guaranteed money to $54 million.

The language these writers are using this off-season make it sound as if the sky is falling. It's kind of ridiculous.

The Packers can make him play this year and Franchise him the next 2 years and by that time have his replacement ready. I know people think hes god but he has not been the healthiest the past few years and he's not getting younger. If one of the top 4 qbs fall to us at 14 we grab them. Like we did with Farve. I see it playing out already Rodgers complaining hes not being asked about making moves and wants his own coaches. He throws his coaches and players under the bus it's never his fault, and you can tell on certain games he doesn't care much has no emotions. I would take Baker Mayfeild and start a fire under Rodgers ass.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I think it's foolish to extend Rodgers with a mega deal at this time when we have so many other holes to fill.

I've been advocating for this. At the end of their career just pay them small but keep paying them after retirement to make up for it.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
