Michael Balko tweeted out that he has spoken with many people in the Packers organization about Rodgers’ retirement. He said that Rodgers “made it clear” that this was his last season in the NFL. If this is true, this is massive news for the Packers. There was some hope with his new contract that he would stick around for at least a couple of years but the organization is preparing for him to retire after 2022. This puts more urgency on winning another Super Bowl with a Hall of Fame quarterback like Rodgers.



This is the easiest garbage every. You say you hear Rodgers is planning to retire then walk it back by saying he could change his mind.

So, if you hear about Rodgers plans being revealed, it's garbage. Now you know.

Ok this guy is saying a cap hit of $40 million Aaron Rodgers' contract was structured "year to year" for retirement purposes, starting with a 1 year, $42M deal this season. If he retires after 2022, the #Packers will be left with $40.3M of dead cap, and Rodgers will be walking away from $59.5M cash.


I thought it was than that because of the guaranteed money.


I am so confused as here is one from right after the deal was signed :

@TomPelissero
The tradeoff for cap savings now: If Aaron Rodgers retires or the #Packers move on after the 2023 season, they would have a $68.205 million dead cap hit on the books in 2024.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Which I rhetorically and sarcastically answered with another absolutely stupid question...

No, Rodgers isn't going to be a backup, because he so good, that he doesn't have to.

No, noone is going to work their normal hard paying jobs, for absolutely free, because we're so good that we don't have to.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
