[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 780845, member: 10441"] until this year, Brady's cap numbers were lower in the 8-9% range whereas Rodgers has been in the 11-12+%. in the year we came the closest he was 13% That's no small difference. with a 150-160 million dollar cap that's around 5 million a year to go to someone else. Probably easier to absorb another player when your starting DB goes down and you have that contract to eat, but still need another player. another 5 million dollars a year would come in handy. if someone is going to freak out over what amounts to maybe 1 million a year extra for a long standing veteran kicker, surely they can see the value in 5 times that amount being available to add a quality player? Since the uncapped season in 2010 up till last season Rodgers has cost the Packers 3.5% of the cap more on average than Brady. That's over 5 million a season. we could included 2010 where Brady had a much higher salary I think 17 million to 6 for rodgers? But then who was the super bowl winning QB that year and who wasn't? Brady's numbers go up quite a bit this year and next to equal or just slightly higher than Rodgers (assuming there is no new contract for him) But those games haven't been played and for all we know, both teams might win it all or fall flat on their faces. With Brady being at about the end, it's even more important for the team to be stronger around him. We'll see what happens. People are talking about 20% of the cap going to Rodgers and linking his salary to the percentage? Be careful what you wish for I guess. Pretty much every rookie will have to perform and every single scrap heap FA they could maybe afford can't get injured or fail in any way. There's a reason super bowl winning QB's are averaging around 6-8% of the cap, not double digit percentages and people are talking about doubling the extreme and writing it in a contract to keep him there? oofff, is about all I can say.
