I am hearing his contract hit can be lowered to approx 30M after restructuring to consummate a trade. As far as assets to obtain Rodgers, I"m not willing to pay but was simply throwing it out there. I am a roll with Howell guy for now as I see no other alternative for us immediately.For years we on this board have been writing and posting about fixing one thing or the other but not QB, we've been sold a bill of goods with Fitzpatrick, Wince, and Heinicke as starter material. We are now entering the 4th year of the so-called rebuild and the only thing that this brain trust has given some of us is more hope! Howell flashed and is the new shiny penny in the room, so what has been done? {rhetorical} fired the guy that gave us the system that he flashed in and gave a promise of a run-first team in an NFL world in which the passing game is taking precedence!
Aaron Rodgers will cost you 59.5 Million this year, another 50.5 Million in 2024 plus the cost to acquire him which has been ranging from a 3rd rounder (hahahahahahaha) to at minimum 2 firsts. In either case, that's a lot of assets to spend on a head case, skill diminished and likely one-year rental like Rodgers.
That said, OK, suppose they go after Rodgers and the cost is 2024 and 2025 first-round picks, how do you trade up then? What happens if Rodgers retires or stays, hamstringing the organization's ability to re-sign players or be involved in free agency? BTW; You can't fix the OL after acquiring him this year without the assets lost to get him.
