I am in that group of "others". Now if the "best deal" is the Lions throwing in an extra 6th round pick over what the Jets are offering, then I would go with the Jets. While there are teams out there that no doubt will want Rodgers, I think Packer fans need to brace themselves for getting less than what has been thrown around.
Really? I don't think the cap hit is that big, but I thought he would get paid $58 mil. There's always a difference between actual cash out and the cap hit.
Thanks Poker. IF he does return, do you or Ty know what his cap hit would be, and how much he would actually be paid?
Agreed. There's no reason not to trade him to the highest bidder if it's an NFC team. I wouldn't trade him within the NFC North though, unless it's an offer Gluten can't refuse. Certainly the Lions and maybe the Queens would be interested. It's starting to look like the Lions are a QB away from being a damn good team.
Rodgers cap hit as a Packer for 2023 is coming up as: $31,623,568
Thanks Poker. It is confusing. The only thing that's clear is that it's a lot of ****ing money. And he needs four days in total darkness to decide if he should or should not collect. Drama queen.Rodgers cap hit as a Packer for 2023 is coming up as: $31,623,568
How much he "makes": $59,515,000
I imagine that if he stays in GB, they could rework the cap hit number again, but it is just pushing more out into the future.
As far as how much he "makes", that is debatable too, since a lot of it was prepaid in guarantees.

Its like what many do with their credit cards, they open another one up, to pay off other cards and run up more debt in the process. Eventually, you either have not spend for a few straight years and/or really clean your team of all the big salaried guys.
Well, it sounds like even if Rodgers plays two more years in GB, there would be a lot of dead cap. (I'm simply assuming the $150 mil was spread over five years for cap purposes, so $30 mil/year.)
Yes. If I read it somewhere correctly, even if Rodgers is traded we’d have to convert some of his deal first or we’d have close to $100m accelerated. It’s more formality and Rodgers would do it as long as he’s getting paid similar in the end.Rodgers cap hit as a Packer for 2023 is coming up as: $31,623,568

Does that require some dead cap for the Packers - if they trade him?

Does Bevell call the plays for the Hags? That was a bad call, and Wilson should have had the presence to not throw it. ThePats don't need extra help winning SBs. Or at least they didn't with Brady.
Yikes, that's 14% of the cap, unless I'm missing something. Hard to build a team around someone eating up that much of the cap.

I think that's a record for a QB's cap space on a Super Bowl winner.
It might be. But it probably takes an exceptional QB to get a team to the SB. Next year Hurts will get paid. Same for Allen and Burrow and Herbert and Jackson, the other top QBs on superior teams who we can expect to see in future SBs.
You are welcome Grass Hopper...lots of useful information in those hidden windows.
Keep in mind, that number is just his cap hit, the Packers are actually paying him more than $50M/year. So in reality, Rodgers salary is 22% of the total amount a team can spend ($224.8M).
That's a better way to look at it. The cap is a hard dollar amount, and so is the money actually paid to a player. close to 25% of the cap for a franchise QB. It would be interesting to see how this has changed over time but have no idea how to calculate it (or really, I'm too lazy).
Amen. I’m not nearly as concerned about Cap expenditures for a great player who is contributing as I am spending cap on someone who is no longer around.
It is a dollar amount, but I wouldn't call it a "hard" dollar amount. The reason I say that, teams can take a $50M/year salary and turn it into a $2M cap hit this season, by shoving the other $48M out to other seasons.
