Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 615889">That would be true if you have a crystal ball.If the Packers were to extend Rodgers in 2017 with a signing bonus in order to clear cap space that year, the contract would then go out to 2020 or beyond, when he'll be 37+.  The dead cap created in the new contract as a result of the signing bonus, which is what clears the needed cap space in the first place, is added on to the dead cap that's present at that time from the prior contract.In this case, the dead cap hangover is $6.65 mil, which seems manageable.  Were it $29.45 mil as it is today, that would be entirely different kettle of fish, which is why I made note of it.  The more dead cap that's piled on top of dead cap that already exists, the greater the risk.</blockquote>
