I like Aaron, wouldn't want any other QB. But if winning it all is your thing, then money can't be.

The Packers would like to extend quarterback Aaron Rodgers before looming free agents like Kirk Cousins and Drew Brees sign their next deals. Rodgers, who patiently has been waiting for a new contract, is content to wait a little longer. Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reports that Rodgers wants to wait for Cousins to sign [more]

True. How much money is enough???
You can only spend so much in a lifetime. He’s already made more than all of us could make in our lives COMBINED.
He can take 20 million a year, and allow others that could help us win a super bowl, to get paid too.
But most likely, greed will win out.
I HOPE I’m wrong.

It is unfair of us as fans to expect him to take less.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I don’t feel that way. What are his priorities? To fill a bank, or win another couple championships?
I can hope he is willing to take a little less. After all, didn’t the Packers give him a shot, when the 23 teams in front of the Packers let him slide by? Plus the Packers sticking with him when Favre tried to regain the starting position?
And it’s NOT like I’m asking the guy to take $15 an hour. Isn’t 20 million enough to “squeak by” on???
Like I said, he has enough to live “high on the hog” if he lives too 100 already.
JMO of course. I have no say in it anyway.

It's actually nice of him to wait. As soon as he signs it sets the ceiling for QB money. If he signs now for whatever amount then teams will use that to say to guys like cousins you aren't getting that much.

I'd try something like the Bobby Bonilla contract. Just not as crazy long lol.

10 year $200 million guaranteed. He's guaranteed that money. That'd be a game changer and assures him of nice money for a decade while leaving the cap workable for pulling in new leaders on the field.

So much for modeling his career after Tom Brady...

Even so...how much is enough?
If you can’t like on 100 million in the bank, and 20 mill a year for the next 4 or 5 years, then there’s something wrong with you.
I can see if you are at the very beginning of your career, to get as much as you can, as you don’t know how many seasons you will get to play. But when you have been getting paid mega bucks for 13 years already, and will want for nothing the rest of your life, is money all you care about?
A couple more rings, and a lasting legacy you would THINK would mean SOMETHING at least.
Maybe I’m the only one that thinks that way...I don’t know.

The money being thrown at these quarterbacks is beyond ludicrous!
