As Jordan Love led the Green Bay Packers on an impressive four-play touchdown drive in the fourth quarter, fans across the world had the same thought. Is it time? Has Aaron Rodgers played his final snap in Green Bay? Is Love about to get his opportunity? Rodgers has been playing with a broken thumb, and

Originally, I was going to say, no. Then I thought more about it (figure 4 seconds later) and I don't think Rodgers goes out with the way the 2022 season has gone. Then I started to wonder if Packers try to persuade him to retire or even ... gasp ... they try to somehow trade that insane contract? I don't think many teams could handle that cap. Hell, I don't think the Packers can handle the dead weight from a trade.

I do. Look what the Broncos gave up for Russell Wilson. If anything the giant contract means we will let two 1sts and two 2nds instead of three 1sts.

Let's see what we got tho. Love looked great, but he was so good we ended up with a small sample size.

2023 1st rounder
2024 4th rounder that could go to 2nd rounder

Unless a team gets stupid, but I think Broncos deal showed the world to be less insane.

That's just too much in the weeds stuff for me to dig into. Contract wise. Way too big of a number to dance around with.

What does the Steelers cap look like?

That might have happened two years ago, when we should have traded Rodgers. Won't get half of that now.

Well looking at cap space I found the perfect sot for Rodgers, send him to Seattle for a 1st and maybe a 4th and they take the money with them. They have $46 million in cap space and they could give up their 1st seeing they have a high 1st thanks to Denver. Rodgers could play the 49ers twice a year to try and stick it to them and also have Lockette and Metcalf to throw to along with a running game. Its a win win for all involved.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
