I don’t care about how much they make, other then how it forces average people to not be able to go and see a game live.
Only people that make a lot of money can afford to take their kids to a game.
Many people would LOVE to go see a game at Lambeau, but can’t swing that kind of cash.
When you have to pay ridiculous amounts of money for even a lousy hot dog and soda, it prices out the average fan.
I was 25 before I got to see a game there, and it was preseason.
I just wish ALL Packer fans could get to experience that.

This is all TV and other outlets money.

The players aren't making the money, the owners would just keep it.

I've never been to a Packer game at Lambeau .

Depending on when Philly comes to Lambeau this year, I might be able to finally make the journey.
I will find out tonight!

Family night and open practices are for families to enjoy.

The rest is never going to be cheaper.

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

Buckeye, it all comes down to greed.
Whether it’s the players or owners, or both.
And that’s what is so sad.
I hope you do get to go to a game!
Back in I believe 1995, my wife sent me to the NFC title game in Dallas.
(We lost.....crap!)
Anyway, the plane ride there and back, bus to and from the stadium, a lunch at a local Dallas restaurant, and a ticket to the game, all for just over $500!
Can you imagine what it would cost today? I’ll never see anything like that again.

Has he done so yet?


Has he been asked yet?
Has he had conversations with management about specific players yet?

I don't get bitching about Aaron's salary when we had many years of Matthews, Cobb, Perry, Bulaga, etc. nowhere near earning their big salaries.. Yes Aaron makes a lot of money in our cap, but at least when he hasn't been injured he has been one of the best at the position.

The easiest way for players to move money around to create cap space is by converting salary into bonuses that can be stretched out over a few years. Rodgers had a salary of 1.1 million last year as he does for the next two years. There is not a lot of room for moving money around there.

He does have rather large roster bonuses that may be able to be moved. His 13 million RB for 2019 is fully guaranteed and my guess is it has already been paid (most of them are due shortly after the start of the league year) so I don't know if that can be messed with. His 2020 RB of 19.5 million was guaranteed on February 6th but it isn't due until March 15th of next year. They might be able to convert some of that to a signing bonus to stretch the hit out but that would put an even bigger cap hit on future years so you have to wonder if it is worth it.

I have no reason to doubt that AR would be willing to move some of his money around to create cap space. Its not like he is giving up any of the money (Tom Brady never gave anything back) all that is changing may be when he gets it (usually they get it sooner if they convert salary to SB) and how it is accounted for.

First of all, nice job Earthquake. Great analysis.

Secondly, again nice job Earthquake. The whole Brady taking a paycut for his team is getting tiresome. It's nearly always restructures which pay out the same but put the cap-hit in a different year. Not saying that it isn't a good thing he did, but like you said in this thread, it didn't make the kind of impact a lot of people like to think.

The common thought seems to be that the Brady gives the Pats another $ 10 million a year to play with. In reality he carries a $ 49 million cap hit over 2 years as a result of constantly pushing around the cap numbers.
