Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers continues to be woefully underpaid. And the Packers continue to be seemingly on the verge of fixing that. "We hope to soon have a contract extension,' Packers president Mark Murphy recently said regarding Rodgers, via WTMJ.com. Rodgers surely hopes to have one, too. At $22 million per year, he has been leapfrogged [more]

Give him $25/year with a "highest payed player in the league" bonus IF he wins a superbowl. SB MVP, a little something extra on top of THAT.

I'm on board with seeing how that collar bone has healed before handing out a massive contract extension.

Well, he did play at the end of last season. I believe his collar bone ( with the surgery fix) will actually be stronger then pre injury. The question I have is , will it affect his throwing motion/ability. Or even mentally affect him.
And I always ask.....how much money is ENOUGH?!?!?

Just get the deal done.
Already tired of hearing about it.
The longer The Packers wait, the more it will cost them.
30 mil a year is not going to break the salary cap for the next 3 years
Hell, there will be a new CBA in 3 years, which, if it goes like the last CBA, there will be an uncapped year following the agreement.
That's when Aaron will really be paid or not paid.

Then you have to hit the NEXT guy with a blockbuster. You need something to hold over Aaron’s head to make sure he’s not gonna be going off script all the time. But hitting the open guy isn’t a legit incentive.

I don't see any positives to delaying a new contract, 30+ million is the new benchmark pay up now before it costs even more.

Within a few years, QBs will get 50 million a year, and the rest of the team will have to split the “leftovers”.
Average people won’t even be able to afford to see a game.
It’s getting insane, the money these guys are getting.

There seems to be a new paradigm emerging. The previous paradigm was that of changing the rules to promote the offensive passing game, so the QBs came to the fore. Franchises centered their teams around the QB.

Now there appears to be a paradigm emerging where, the rules of offense have made it so easy that you don't NEED a HoF QB. You can get by with Case Keenum, Kirk Cousins or Nick Foles. Look what happened to the Legion of Boom when they had to pay Russell Wilson. The new question is, wouldn't it be better to keep all those dominant defensive players than it would be to pay that ONE guy?

Especially if the rules have changed so much that you don't need that ONE guy.

I'm probably wrong here but I see Nick Foles as a very good and on the verge of great QB. Eagles didn't just get by with him. They thrived with him. Carson Wentz is a big time player too. Eagles made some good decisions along the way through some years of struggle. Packers fans don't put up with any prolonged moments of struggle so they're less inclined to see that most of these rosters took several years of disappointment and higher draft picks to get there.
