Michael Balko tweeted out that he has spoken with many people in the Packers organization about Rodgers’ retirement. He said that Rodgers “made it clear” that this was his last season in the NFL. If this is true, this is massive news for the Packers. There was some hope with his new contract that he would stick around for at least a couple of years but the organization is preparing for him to retire after 2022. This puts more urgency on winning another Super Bowl with a Hall of Fame quarterback like Rodgers.



This is the easiest garbage every. You say you hear Rodgers is planning to retire then walk it back by saying he could change his mind.

So, if you hear about Rodgers plans being revealed, it's garbage. Now you know.

Ok this guy is saying a cap hit of $40 million Aaron Rodgers' contract was structured "year to year" for retirement purposes, starting with a 1 year, $42M deal this season. If he retires after 2022, the #Packers will be left with $40.3M of dead cap, and Rodgers will be walking away from $59.5M cash.


I thought it was than that because of the guaranteed money.


I am so confused as here is one from right after the deal was signed :

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

Which I rhetorically and sarcastically answered with another absolutely stupid question...

No, Rodgers isn't going to be a backup, because he so good, that he doesn't have to.

No, noone is going to work their normal hard paying jobs, for absolutely free, because we're so good that we don't have to.
