The amount of money being given to these athletes is shameful!
The absolute greed turns my stomach.

Some of you are living in the past! Most of you have come to grips that Ted should not pay Bart Starr 20M to QB us in 2017; ya know because though he was great, he's not going to be better that Tyrod Taylor. Now apply this EXACT same reasoning and realize Aaron Rodgers is gone, just like Starr. Unlike Starr, he has a chance to come back and I felt he was working his way back, until this. The egocentric ass plays like total crap in his last game and now he's asking for a raise. Was the 20 games the real Rodgers or the guy playing in the streak? You don't pay him a dime more until it's certain that Some ole Jay Doppleganger Cutler has been exercised.

HE's GONE: If you take Rodgers' stats for 20 games [last 10 of '15, first 10 of '16] we were 8-12 [in the other 12 games we were 12-0]. His average Passer rating is 88, which would rank him as 22nd best QB over the last 2 years. Worse than Tyrod Taylor and Hoyer, just a bit better than Bortles, Siemian.

Rodgers is simply not in the class of Wilson, Ryan or Brady anymore [especially in playoffs] and he makes a million more than all of those guys.

Here's his contract amount and dead cap. We can cut/trade him in 2018 and 19 with no dead money.

2017 $20,300,000 $6,650,000
2018 $20,900,000 -
2019 $21,100,000 -

It was pretty much a given that he would never play to the end of his current contract without it being renegotiated/extended. that is how these big contracts work in today's NFL. He will likely get an extension, they will move money around getting him new guaranteed money while getting the team space against the cap.

those of you acting like Brady is somehow not being paid are idiots. He got his money, it was just restructured to help the team also.

If he's going to point to Mike Glennon as to why he should be paid more I will point to Brady as to why he's overpaid. In two years if his production stays the same, I will gladly give him an extension and it will be far more than the current contract. But until then I don't care what anyone else is making.

He wants more money fine, trade his ass to Cleveland and he will get a boat load of money. His so called greatness will shine then lol. He has proven over and over again he isn't that great, like the article states he lead them from a 4-6 start to the NFC championship game. Well it was also him that got us the 4 and 6 start. Please once again explain to me why we should pay a guy so much money when he has win a total of 1 super bowl. Sure he can put up some nice stats but then again so is everyone else with the way the rules are setup. Trade his ass for 2 or 3 #1's and a few #2's from Cleveland. I really don't see a Super Bowl in our future right now. So lets be the Pats and capitalize on what we have before we can't get anything. But then again Ted Thompson will wait to long and trade him for a conditional 4th rounder.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Unless you assume he is not going to play for that many more years, it would be better for the team Cap wise now, and cheaper for the team in the long run to extend him. Every year we wait, is another year of inflation that would be in his contract.

Good!

The negotiations will begin with: "Aaron, you need a good offensive line in front of you unlike Russell Wilson. You need weapons around you unlike Brady. And you need a stud defense when you're on the sideline, which we need cap space to accomplish; AGREED!

Sanchez needs those things as well to perform, so I'm thinking about 9M per, or do you think that's too much?! Or do you want to wait to see what Cutler gets? Oh and if we ask you to behave like a man and honor your contract and you get all pissy and bitchy and moany on us, you know like you are with the rest or your family, and like you were through must of '15 and '16, our guy Barfarn is going to unmercifully hound you on every pubic venue and we may give him your personal info so he can hound you in some personal ones as well."

He didn't ask for more money. That said, who on this team deserves it more?
But in reality, could he not live the rest of his life on the money he already made quite comfortably?
Even if he lives to be 100, he could retire today and never have to worry about money (if he didn't blow it stupidly).
