See and with all this crap of money has nothing to do with it Bullshit he tried saying reminded me of the Democrats and that jeff Dunham puppet (Walter) that runs the country telling us the gas prices is Russias fault lol.

Why will Rodgers never be the GOAT just look at this piece that came out and look at what happened in free agency.



The Buccaneers have a lengthy list of free agents they will be trying to retain. Center Ryan Jensen and right guard Ryan Cappa would be notable ones from Brady’s point of view, as would running back Leonard Fournette. Wide receiver Chris Godwin was also set to be a free agent, but the Buccaneers used their franchise tag on him.

Brady’s return figures to change some plans, as many players will take less money to play on his team. Plus, some players who have publicly flirted with other teams will probably put an end to that.


And we get our players pretty much saying if I have to play with Rodgers I want more money lol, right Mr Adams ;)

I've heard this before but don't know the circumstances. Who took pay cuts to play w/ Brady?

Players don't have that loyalty. They usually go where the money leads them.
So it's hard for us to deal with a player that we fall in love with, who jumps ship as soon as their ego leads them to a bigger payday.
Robin Yount took less money to stay with the Milwaukee Brewers, because he remained loyal to the team that gave him his big break.
Those days are long gone.
Don't get me wrong. Teams don't have the loyalty to players anymore either.
It's "SHOW ME THE MONEY!" All the way around.

2022: $28.5 million (down from $46.7 million)
2023: $31.6 million (up from $7.7 million on a previously voidable year)
2024: $40.7 million

The net is, some of you feel he should take considerable less to play for the Packers...very naive IMO.

I am just happy he was flexible in when he was willing to take it in out years. Otherwise, we would not have shot at Campbell Douglas, PSmith and others....

Further as Zero2Cool posted Considering Kirk Cousins, who can't touch AR12's jock, just signed for a guaranteed 35mm for this year, I want to quote the great DB69 "What actual f@@@" are you complaining about? What do you think top QB are going to be making in '23-4.

Give it a rest.

Do we care about their emotional or mental state? Nope. We fans only care about winning championships and if a player doesn't exude that same passion, then we accuse them of all about the money. It's just a matter of perspective really.

You're spot-on about loyalty. Organizations are loyal mostly to the organization. Players are mostly loyal to themselves.


I think this is a misnomer. Even saying Tom Brady took less to stay with Patriots is misleading at times because what he did was just spread his money out through more years. Same thing Brett Favre did several times. Player still gets the same amount of money, just gets counted against the teams cap differently. Sometimes, the player actually gets the money sooner than later, but it's perceived to be taking "less" because the salary cap hit is lower for that current year. And Lord knows we can't think beyond 10 seconds so no one cares to look at ensuing years, lol.
