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.


Wow, this could be horrible for Packers.

The Green Bay Packers have signed QB Aaron Rodgers to a contract extension. General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced the transaction Tuesday.

"We are very pleased to be able to come to an agreement with Aaron that keeps him in Green Bay," said Gutekunst. "His play on the field and leadership in our locker room remain vital in our pursuit of another Super Bowl title. The agreement also allows us to maintain and enhance what we feel is already a very competitive roster."

Rodgers led the league for the fourth time in his career with a passer rating of 111.9 in 2021, joining Steve Young (six times), Roger Staubach (four) and Ken Anderson (four) as the only players to lead the NFL in rating at least four times since 1970. He threw for 37 touchdowns, marking his eighth regular season with at least 30 TD passes, the fifth most in NFL history (Tom Brady, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning, nine / Drew Brees, 10). Rodgers also set the NFL mark for the most games with multiple TD passes/zero INTs (13) in a single season in 2021. He has 24 games with multiple TD passes/zero INTs since 2020, topping Brady (19 in 2010-11) for the most over a two-season span in NFL history.

Rodgers was named NFL Most Valuable Player by The Associated Press and by the Pro Football Writers of America for the 2021 season. He became the fifth player in NFL history to win consecutive MVPs and ranks No. 2 with four AP MVP awards (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021), trailing only Manning's five. It was Rodgers' fourth overall PFWA MVP award (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021), tying him with Manning for the most in the history of the PFWA. Last season, Rodgers also earned All-Pro honors from the AP for the fifth time (first team in 2011, 2014, 2020 and 2021, second team in 2012) and was selected to the Pro Bowl for the 10th time in his career (2009, 2011-12, 2014-16, 2018-21), passing Favre and T Forrest Gregg for the most Pro Bowl selections by a Packer.

With Rodgers as the starting quarterback over the past 14 years, the Packers have made the playoffs 11 times, won the division eight times and won the Super Bowl once. Rodgers helped Green Bay become the first team in NFL history to win 13-plus regular-season games in three straight seasons (2019-21). Rodgers has 449 career passing TDs, passing Favre (442) in Week 16 of 2021 for the most in team history. His 449 TD passes as a Packer are the third most in NFL history by a QB with a single franchise (Brady, 541 with New England; Brees, 491 with New Orleans) and the fifth-most overall in league history.

Shameful, pathetic and embarrassing.


Pelissero noted that Rodgers' new contract includes an obscenely large dead cap hit if Rodgers retires or the Packers get rid of him after the 2023 season.

    The good news is as the cap continues to increase the cap problems will be lessened when they get to the end of his contract. People lost their minds when his 2013 contract was revealed. $22 million a year average. Today those numbers are given out all the time. 26 players are looking at an average of $22 mil or more. 16 of them are QBs.

    For years The Packers were known as a draft and develope team.
    That all changed 3 years ago when Gute went all in picking up The Smith's, Amos and Turner.

    I think they thought the Rodgers window was closing.

    What they didn't see coming was a Salary Cap that barely moved the last 2 years.
    What they didn't see was Aaron Rodgers having 3 great years , including back to back MVP seasons.

    Now they are being forced push money into future years to keep the window open 2-3 years.
    Silver lining is The Salary Cap should be making huge jumps the next 3 years which will help when all this void year money comes due.
    I really hope The Packers get Davonte signed to a 3-4 year contract that will reduce his 19mil Cap hit in 2022.

    THE MOST IMPORTANT GUY IN ANY ORGANIZATION IS THE GUY WHO KNOWS HOW TO WORK THE SALARY CAP!
