Holy fuck . . . $57.5 million in dead cap money this year. For a quarterback who's only made it to one Super Bowl.

Why do NFL teams feel this compulsion to compete with each other to break compensation records? What kind of PR bump do they think they're really getting? The fans couldn't care less, and it's not like inking the second or third most lucrative contract in league history is going to make it any harder to sign free agents, so whom are they trying to impress anyway?

In a couple years, the cap is going to jump up due to the money made from sports gambling. This contract will be a bargain then.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't dead cap money only come into effect if the player is cut?

Just glad it's done.

Wont have to hear about it all season

The numbers are very manageable.
Salary cap numbers are only going to go up.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Example a players signs a 5 year deal with 5 million signing bonus (1 million per year). That signing bonus gets spread evenly over the first 5 years (I believe). So say a team trades said player before year 4, then they would still have 2 million of dead cap space, since they already paid out that bonus (when it was signed) but it has not yet been accounted for.

Twitter mentions that this saves us 15 million in cap space this season. If we don't use that that's 15 more million toward other years. Takes the sting out of some of those cap hits.

If Rodgers plays in every regular season game over the next 6 years, that is a total of 96 games. And, he is expected to be paid $176,000,000.00 over that period, not including incentives, that comes to $1,833,333.33 per game over 6 seasons.

Most of us will not make over a lifetime what Rodgers will average per game. It will stick in my mind moving forward as I watch Packer games. I may calculate per game what each pass attempt was worth. EX: $1,833,333.33 divided by 40 pass attempt = $45,833.33.

What did you make last year? 😁

His 57 million dollar signing bonus alone gives him a cap hit of 11.5 million this year so even if he got no other money this year that would only save us 9.5 million. His base this season is almost 9 million and there is a workout bonus of half a mil so that eats up that 9.5. Spotrac has his cap hit at 20.9 million this year so that makes us about even maybe a little bit ahead.

I am ecstatic. He is the best to have ever played the position...I hope we can keep him healthy for the duration of the contract.

Now, perhaps we can seriously consider some other moves (like Mack)

spotrac has his cap hits as the following

2018 20.9 million
2019 26.5
2020 32.6
2021 33.5
2022 37
2023 25.5

We better hope the cap keep going up. Those are some pretty hefty numbers in 2020-2022

I can't imagine signing Mack for any cap hit less than 15 million a year probably closer to 20 so that means 40 - 48 million minimum maybe 45-53 tied up in two guys if we were to sign Mack for 4 years.

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Geeze Zero get it right!😋

Zero2Cool (15h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever

Zero2Cool (16h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (16h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (19h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (19h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (20h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (20h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (20h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (21h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (21h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (21h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (23h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
