Rodgers salary cap hit by year:

2022 $28.5M ($151M dead money)
2023 $31.6M ($99.7M dead money)
2024 $40.7M ($24.4M dead money)
2025 $59.3M ($16.3M dead money)
2026 $53.5M ($8.1M dead money)

Rodgers is gone after the 2023 season based on salary vs. dead money so do not use his contract as a reason why the team didn't surround him with more talent.....especially seeing as how Green Bay has always been a frugal organization and have $25M in dead cap this season due to bad moves and roughly $7M in available cap space remaining.

Based on that logic then Dak is hamstringing the team to acquire more talent given he counts $49M in 2023 and $52M in 2024.
He is.

I just read that "Rodgers signed a 3 year deal worth 150.8 mil over 3 yrs. First two years guaranteed at 42 mil and 59.5 mil."

Where are you getting your info? I definitely want to know if what I'm reading is incorrect.

For those claiming Rodgers is washed up and is an ego maniac, keep in mind these are his stats from the last 2 seasons (2020 & 2021) with team record:

26 wins 6 losses

738 of 1,057 69.8% Comp % 8,414 yards 11.4 ypc 85 td's 9 int's 116.7 qb rating


Rodgers is forcing things given his below average supporting cast but to say he is washed up given he has put up those kind of stats says differently.
Rodgers is nicked up as well. He is far from washed up.

Just googled it.

All the sources agreed that it was for 3 years/150 mil. 42 mil this year, 59.5 mil next. Several sources confirmed.

Rodgers is a great QB. He's a Hall of Famer, for sure.

But he also strikes me as a giant pain in the ***, coddled baby who loves to dish it out but then bristles when it's given back to him. Over the last few years when you have read about friction in GB, it's always involving Rodgers. Whether it's a beef with the GM or the coach or the WRs or someone else, Rodgers is always involved.

I don’t think Rodgers cares too much about winning and I think it’s always been that way. Now he’s washed up and the team is completely devoid of talent. We should be favored by 8-10 points.

You don't think Rodgers cares about winning?

Stop.

Pretty sure they are incorrect in this instance. There were several sources I saw that confirmed this.

sportskeeda is another that shows what the others are saying so I am not sure where you are getting your info from.

The new contract that Rodgers and the Packers signed changes things significantly. The deal is officially viewed as a three-year. $150.815 million contract extension. That includes a reported incredible, fully-guaranteed, base salary of $59.5 million in 2023 and $49.3 million that is not guaranteed in 2024.Jun 1, 2022

First thing that pops up when you google A-Rods contract

Good article on his contract as it's a bit interesting

https://www.nfl.com/news/aaron-rodgers-officially-signs-contract-extension-packers-qb-150-million

It's a 3 year extension with 2 additional years at the end tacked on. They aren't truly void years but an agreement of sorts where the Packers won't force him to play on.

My personal opinion is Rodgers has lost that desire to play sports. I think he has more interest in a Joe Rogan type of career than quarterbacking in the NFL.

If a photo of Lafleur and McCarthy chatting and laughing while looking at Rodgers off in the distance doesn't emerge after the game, I'm going to be disappointed.

..funny though, 2 yrs ago, everything was backwards. MM was terrible coach and Lafluer was stuff dreams are made of.

GB was super bowl destined. Dallas was still heap of troubles.

2 yrs later. Almost 360 turn.

Packer fan here. Just a couple of thoughts. Davante wanted out of Green Bay. His family never saw him play in Lambeau and he wanted to be close to them. He asked Rodgers to help him get the front office to move him to Vegas. Rodgers being his close friend, did his part even though the Packers offered more money. Rodgers probably told Adams he was only going to play a year or two and did not want to be in Green Bay without Rodgers.

Supposedly the Packers were offered a huge return by Denver before they made the Russell Wilson deal. The Packers GM wanted to do the deal but Mark Murphy would not let it happen. The whole leadership thing has gotten screwed up in the last few years where before it was Ron Wolf or Ted Thompson that called all shots, not it is a stupid triangle of buffonery with Mark Murphy the head and Russ Ball, Guttenkust, and Lafleur all answering to him. They need to fix that

The front office has failed Rodgers over the past ten years. They never drafted top offensive talent and never a WR or TE, Offensive linemen or running back in the 1st round. Their only 1st round pick on offense in the past ten years has been Jordan Love. They only draft defense and then hire idiot coaches that can't put a system together. I see frustration on Rodgers. He cant carry the team like he used to. He can still make some great throws but I dont see it consistently. Up until this year, he was the best QB I have ever seen play. But age has taken a toll. Now he is just medicore at best with a cast of players around him that just are not very good. Time to move on after this year.

Hmmm .....have we not seen this movie before (lol). So many fans/posters wanted to take MM to the woods.....

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/11/07/jets-bears-justin-fields-peter-king-fmia-week-9/

1. I think this was a great piece of writing from Tom Silverstein, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s longtime Packers authority, on Sunday night, on the looming conflict between coach Matt LaFleur and quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the Green Bay season goes down the drain:

LaFleur wants more motion, Rodgers wants less. LaFleur likes the quarterback under center, Rodgers likes shotgun. LaFleur needs Rodgers to be patient and supportive of the young receivers and Rodgers suggested after the game they need more hurry-up and believes in tough love.

Does anyone really think LaFleur came up with the tackle-eligible play that called for Rodgers to throw the ball to David Bakhtiari, a guy who can barely practice during the week because of the four surgeries he’s had on his left knee?


NOt a new news story been lie this few years, he nearly left..on going issue, ironic he threw MM under the bus as well.

Summation: Rodgers had already imploded. He had a slight renewing w/ a new HC, but that only lasted a short while. Rodgers would not be happy w/ any HC at this point. Why? His skills/ability to take hits are eroding, and he's a blamer by nature. Soooo, he will blame anyone and anything around him rather than admit his ability is fading.

Funny thing is, he's still got his arm strength. It's other things that are falling apart for him.
