Reading dribble like this just ****** me off. For Florio to say this:
"He’s due to make $22.35 million in 2021, $25.5 million in 2022, and $25.5 million in 2023."
This is just misleading and dishonest reporting. His average salary is $33.5M/year. Some of it he got upfront. Where was Florio when Rodgers was paid $66.9M in 2018?
I get it, Florio wants to make it more dramatic and juicy, so people go "WOW".
which is why I usually skip anything with his name attached to it. I disregarded my own good advice and read the article earlier someone had posted and it just confirmed what I already knew. Florio is looking for clicks, i'm ashamed I indulged.
We've been talking about them redoing his contract for months on here. it's kind of a no brainer, maybe
We need cap space, they can create the biggest amount by re-doing his contract. Rodgers would probably like that because it would re-affirm their commitment to him longer term. The team might like it because it gives them more flexibility. They also might think, we paid him a lot. Certainly more than the 22 million Florio is playing with words about. Maybe they like their contract in that it paid him a lot up front and is going to hold him accountable in his level of play. Keeps playing like this, they won't move on from him even if it's 2023.
and thank god for twitter LOL what a useless invention. people re-tweeting all of a sudden means there's something to be seen. Honestly, is it news you? The Packers and Rodgers might re-do a contract? shocking lol
