Trouble in paradise…? Wink

B) too bad!

The Green Bay Packers are going all-in with Aaron Rodgers in 2021 because a transition is probably coming in 2022.The salary cap all but guarantees it.
After the Packers restructured Rodgers’ deal, pushing almost $10 million of cap dollars to next year to create space for this year, the Packers are now almost $50 million over the salary cap in 2022, according to Over the Cap.

The Packers have $257 million worth of contracts committed to 52 players for the 2022 season. Over the Cap is predicting a cap of $208.2 million.
Good luck Devante on that fat new contract…! :p

Well the cap went down due to COVID revenue constraints, last season it was $198.2m, this season it’s $182.5m, the new TV deal doesn’t kick in ‘til 2023.

that purple part is something that seems to be escaping many. its not just a matter of getting through this last years crop of free agents, its next offseason as well, and back loading deals is risky due to the effects of a high dollar player getting injured or having their play fall off at a key high dollar position where you cant often get by on a cheap replacement.

So you're saying that if A. Barr walks into Rodgers again, the Packers are F'd not only this year, but a good chunk of the foreseeable future as well. A plan comes to mind. Bwahahaha.

Well they are definitely cutting Z'Darius after this year if his contract isnt restructured. No way he's getting $28MM next year so they are really $22MM over or whatever that number is.

I actually think there is a fair chance that could happen, not from Barr, but it's not so easy to stay healthy when you are older.

I think you're right on the money.

Bart Starr, Farve and Rodgers all made 16 seasons in GB.

If Rodgers completes #17, he'd be the first to do so,

So, who's laughing at Green Bay now? Vikes COVID shit show with Dark Ages Cousins leading the helm has all the makings of a dumpster fire.
