How is it different? Didn't the Packers part ways with Favre as well? The Packers cut Daniels and he is pissed so he wants to go to a divisional rival to stick it to them. The Packers traded Favre and he was pissed so he wanted to go to a divisional rival to stick it to them. It just took him an extra year to do it. I don't see much difference unless you are going to argue that Favre parted ways first by announcing his retirement but but even that IMO is not a significant difference as he eventually came back and the Packers eventually parted ways with him.
While the Packers were the one to be part ways in the end Favre's antics were the reason for it. In addition he retired again after the 2008 season to force his way on the Vikings because otherwise the Jets would have never traded him to Minnesota.
With Daniels the team didn't deem him to be worth the cap hit and released him because of it. Huge difference in my opinion.
lol...true but they're taking their last shot too. realistically...both team's windows are shut now. in both cases the QB's cap hits have nailed it shut...especially rodgers and him turning 36 in dec. it's about getting a wild card game now for these teams.
Geez, you're truly being a Negative Nancy. The Packers are definitely not the favorite to win the Super Bowl entering this season but their championship window isn't shut by any means.
not really...except wentz for a couple of years. anyone with a qb eating up that much cap space percentage is spitting in the wind. no one's won a SB with a QB cap % over 13 since the first year of the cap...in 1994.
2019 marks only the second season with Rodgers being the starter that he will count more than 13% towards the team's cap. Unfortunately that didn't result in them winning another Super Bowl aside of an uncapped year in 2010 either.
In addition Rodgers counting $2 million less towards the cap (that would bring his cap hit under 13%) wouldn't make a huge difference for the Packers chances this season.
