The #Packers and MVP QB Aaron Rodgers have agreed to terms on a 4-year, $200M deal that makes him the highest paid player in NFL history, sources say. He gets a whopping $153M guaranteed and his cap number goes down. A monstrous commitment by GB for years to come

Question now is will the best intentions on GB's part play out or did the horseshoe well dry-up?  

I dont know if in the next 3 years their window is any more than what it's been the past 3. Hopefully someone in the North can give them a run for their $$$.

Their dominance in the division reminds me of the Vikings in the 70's. 


70s Vikings. 

Man, it no longer feels like a lifetime ago, but ancient history.

As of this morning, the Packers were  $24,348,150, a number that increases by $20,145,000 with the franchise tag for Davante Adams.
The Aaron Rodgers deal will help, but they’ll have work to do to clear $44,493,150 in order to be under the cap by the start of free agency.

Gut the defense and try to win every game 52-49 next year?

That gal shows great loyalty. He loses in the playoffs and she promptly dumps him. He signs a mega contract and she missed him. I wish him luck with the reconciliation!

What happens if they aren't?  Do they lose their tag on adams?  Do players just suddenly become free agents?  What is the penalty for teams if they aren't under the cap by the deadline?

lol. Not sure if that's the deal, but she's a little on the weird side. I think celebrities and celebrity pro athletes live and operate mentally much differently. They aren't grounded any longer if they were before. If they got famous before they really got to mature then you get this on-again, off-again relationship garbage. I mean, getting engaged should mean something. Calling it off before you even get married just seems immature.

Listen, I don't know either one of them. I could be way off. Just an opinion from the cheap seats.

Maybe it's just me, but if I've got hundreds of millions in the bank, making tens of millions per year, I'm doing a wee bit better than Ms. Woodley.

Then again, I don't need a beard.

After a week of going back and forth with the #Packers, Aaron Rodgers’ complicated contract pays him $50M per year over 3 years — $150M. Plus there are two low-money option years that will be replaced.

Aaron Rodgers’ new deal is three years, $150 million - but that’s including this year that he already had. So in actuality, it’s really a two-year, $124 million extension.

At his age there is a bit of an increased injury risk. They better buy insurance and pray he stays healthy.
