[QUOTE="David Ciembronowicz, post: 1056648, member: 15059"] Consider the Rex Ryan comments about Love who has been saying it since week 1 this year. Consider, the contract extension with this info: Next year, Love is slated to have a $29.8 million cap hit and an $87.6 million dead cap due to the $75 million bonus that the team signed him to coupled with his $11.9 million base salary in 2025. His 2025 salary is fully guaranteed, as was his 2024 salary, and so is his $10.4 million salary in 2026. There’s no way of getting around that. Beyond that, Love’s $39.5 million roster bonus fully guarantees on the fifth league day of 2025, meaning March 17th of this year. If the Packers restructure that roster bonus to a signing bonus, as they typically do, then that will only stretch out the cap hits on his contract further — which will also increase the load of his dead cap in future seasons. Next offseason, another $20 million roster bonus fully guarantees on the fifth day of the league year in 2026, by which point Love’s dead cap number will be even larger than the $58.9 million figure that he’s currently slated to carry in 2026. For perspective, the only player who has ever had a dead cap of higher than $40.5 million who has either been traded for or released in NFL history was Russell Wilson. So unless the Packers plan on making a move that has little to no comparisons, Love is going to be Green Bay’s quarterback through at least the 2027 season. [/QUOTE]
