4 year, 134 MILLION dollars extension (Holy fug). 57.5 million signing bonus. Will earn more than 80 million dollars by March.

 

On his career, Rodgers holds a 94-48 overall record as a starter, and has passed 38,502 yards, 313 touchdowns with 78 interceptions for a 103.8 passer rating. His passer rating and TD-INT ratio ranks as the highest in NFL history (minimum 2,000 attempts).

The Packers signal-caller enters his 14th professional season and has made his mark, including being one of two active players to win multiple MVP awards and one of two quarterbacks with multiple first-team All-Pro selections, accomplishments shared with New England Patriotsquarterback Tom Brady.

Rodgers has also been named to six Pro Bowls and is one of eight active quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl. He is the second-most productive quarterback in Packers history behind Hall of Famer Brett Favre.

While Rodgers has gathered numerous gaudy individual statistics and accolades on his career; perhaps his biggest value to the Packers surrounds his time on the field.

Since 2008, the Packers are 94-46 and average 27.7 points per game with Rodgers, but are 6-13-1 and average 20.2 points per game without him.

We're going to have to pay Cam ridiculous money when his time comes lol. Which isnt too far really, hes only signed through 2020 so the talks could be starting as early as next season (2019) and def in 2020.  If we dont resign him , Cam would be a unrestricted free agent in 2021, while still being relatively young for a QB at 32 then.

They are going to have to seriously raise the cap in order to pay out these huge contracts. The fact that Brandin Cooks got the deal he got, along with a lot of these bloated contracts, will make re-signing Funch that much harder. He's definitely not worth 9+ Million a season. Matter of fact, it'll make signing most any player to a long term deal whilst still trying to put together a serviceable team.

Rodgers deserves to be the highest paid player, but the Packers are quickly becoming the Colts of the Manning era. Both are absolutely all time great QBs, but both also hamstrung their franchises by eating up such massive chunks of the cap. There's only so much money to go around under the cap and when you're paying one player the percentage of the cap that Peyton made and Rodgers makes, then you're going to have some big holes on the roster with no way to address them. You better be knocking the ball out of the park in the draft year in and year out to make up for it to get some relatively cheap talent. One reason why Brady has all those rings is that he's always had a contract that was relatively cap friendly for the Pats.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
