    Believe it's 30mill in 2024 and essentially just a 2 year deal, not hateful.

    If this is all it would take, the Jets would be dumbasses not to do it.

    This is just to understand the situation a bit better.

    The Packers are currently $16M over the cap for next year or thereabouts. Trading Rodgers before June 1st gives them a $40M dead money hit and makes them $8M worse against the cap in the process. That means they are $24M over the cap.

    Now between now and then they have their draft to account for and that will add $5M+ to their cap numbers. So the pre-June 1st cap just looks really tough for them to manipulate into a trade of Rodgers since his departure will make a very squeezed cap situation worse. Obviously they can make a number of restructures to get down to the point that Rodgers is tradeable but we're not talking normal restructuring. They're going to have to get very creative and accept some major cap hits down the road.

    I heard this was the best fair deal probably the best GB would get,

    '23 2nd Rd
    '24 Conditional 2nd Rd - lower if he retires, and possible elevated to a 1st if Jets win a playoff game with him as starter.

    I would support this deal. Also, I would spend the #13 pick on an OT to protect his old ass. If Benton is actually looking good, I may consider moving back to stockpile a pick a 2nd round pick making up for the one we lost and use it to get a Center. That would up the door to use the 1st pick in the later round for BPA among S, G, or OT.

    If we're 8-3 and then Rodgers tears his biceps tendon and gets a boner for Jenn Sterger and we lose out, is that still a second rounder?

    When you break down the money + how old he is, why would it be anymore than that?

    Still think Carr is the best solution to our QB problem.

    But Rodgers would be fun to watch... both on & off the field.

    Rodgers discussed this needing to happen and is on board, he said this on Pat McAfee show about restructuring needed to make a move feasible

    Rap hints at what we all realistically know is the actual outcome: Jimmy G, not Rodgers.

    Unless Garoppolo doesn't have any other options, the Hackett hire is likely going to scare him off. It's Rodgers or bust.

    The bonus standing in the way is a fully guaranteed $58.3M option bonus which has to be paid between March 17th (2 days after league year opens) and Week 1. If Rodgers is traded with the option bonus on the books the Packers have to pay it out and account for it. So he is going to have to give it up at least temporarily in order to facilitate a trade. He could do this by exchanging the bonus or some part of it for guaranteed salary. The amount that he exchanged would then go on the cap of the acquiring team instead of the Packer's cap while the Packers '23 cap would absorb whatever remained as bonus as the guaranteed sum was paid out upon execution of the trade.

    So if he chose to give up $29.15M of the bonus in return for adding $29.15M as guaranteed salary this year the Packers would pay out the $29.15M remaining bonus at the trade and his guaranteed salary for '23 would become $29.15M alongside the existing non-guaranteed $1.165M he is due this season for a $30.315M.

    It's not clear to me at a glance what his cap hit for the Packers would be in this scenario due to how future bonuses are scheduled. At a minimum he got $40.8M in bonuses in 2022 (some of which have already hit the cap) and would have an additional $29.15M in the bundle at that point. The reason it is not clear to me is that his contract voids in '24 unless the Packers pay yet another $47M bonus. So I don't know how the last 3 years of the deal are considered in terms of '23 payouts.

    For the Jets the payout would be $30.315M for '23 and then the $47M in '24. If the Jets decline the $47M in '24 then that sum becomes his guaranteed salary for the year - so no way out. If they pay it then he has a total payout in the range of $49.3M for '24 and they still control the last two years of the contract for cap purposes. I don't *think* there is any guaranteed money after the $47M bonus next year.

    Edit: And of course the Jets are also not in great shape against the cap at this point, currently being $2.6M over and probably wanting to sign Quinnen Williams to an extension in this his 5th and option year.

    Off topic. Unoriginal.
