Aaron Rodgers, QB, NY Jets

From Profootballnetwork.com:

"The 2022 NFL season was set to be the final year of the four-year $134 million contract extension that Rodgers signed in 2018. The deal was originally supposed to run through the 2023 season, but Rodgers and the Packers negotiated a deal that voided after 2022. Rodgers was due to count $46.664 million against the cap this season before signing the new deal. 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.

There are then also two option years on the back end that carry salaries of $15.85 million and $10 million along with two $5 million roster bonuses.

Those options must be picked up in the 2023 and 2024 offseason. There are mechanisms in the contract to make it difficult for the Packers to do that without carrying huge dead money numbers further into the deal.

The three-year contract extension does not officially begin until 2024. That is because there were still the 2022 and 2023 seasons left on the old contract. That all means that Rodgers is under contract for five years, through the conclusion of the 2026 season. However, expect Rodgers' contract to change multiple times between now and then."
___________________________________________

No way Rodgers gives up the almost $60 million guaranteed next season. It would have to be a trade and maybe further extension/re-work - would get complicated for the cap numbers for both teams involved. I also can't see Rodgers playing beyond 2026 if he even plays that long. He hitched his wagon to the Packers and got seriously paid.....I suppose anything can be unraveled, but it would have have been much easier to move on before the extension, obviously.

110% Stole money right before his time is up!!!!

And NO ONE IS GOING TO TRADE FOR HIM with that RETARDED OVER PRICED CONTRACT for A OVER THE HILL QB, FORGET ABOUT IT 🤣 TIME IS UP 🤣 LET HIM ROT IN ROTTEN CHEESE LAND OF FAIL 🤣

If he was willing to sign with us in the offseason (knowing Jimmy is out), I would sign him in a heartbeat. With this loaded roster, "OLD MAN Fartgers" would make us instant SB favorites for the next 3 years…

Yep, he would instantly fix our short-term quarterback issues, likely win a couple of rings, and potentially accelerate Lance's development if he came in with the right mindset. I'd strongly consider it.

OLD FART OVER THE HILL ain't coming and ain't going no where with that ridiculous over priced contract and knowing how greedy and selfish he is, he will NEVER restructure. He will be DONE in cheese land soon and might not even make the playoffs again since they parted with a likely HOF WR + they have no running game and their D is still pathetic as ever. Good to see the rotten cheese packers becoming bottom dwellers of the NFL along with that old fart for all those years they took away the 9ers for SB runs.

niners won't have 40 mill on the side like that. Money has to go to Dolla dolla bills Deebo , and most definitely Bosa.

I'm not a cap guy and wasn't commenting on feasibility, but I like to think the anticipated increases to the cap, the savings from offloading Garoppolo, and the hope that he'd take a team-friendly deal to play for his childhood favorite team could make it work. Might be wishful thinking, but I'd accept a decade of cap hell for two championships.

Right. For Rodgers-49ers to work, he'd have to give up the greed and look solely to win a championship or two at the twilight of his career. What better place than his childhood team close to his alma mater. A cap friendly deal is plausible IF Rodgers wants to make it happen. Or he can sit in GB with a trash team and end his career with one SB ring and nothing more.

I can't see him coming here. I don't see how he could fit financially, and like Brady, I don't see him as a team player.

Rodgers is an a**hole and not a team guy by most accounts and probably very close to being used up as a QB. I would have to say no to the idea of his coming here under any circumstance.

2023 and beyond is Trey Era Time for the 9ers, dont need and will never need a greedy over paid over priced old fart who has failed his own team for years now, even Brady will retire next season and even Russell Wilson is declining, an old ERA is ending and a New Era and New Generation of Young QBs are taking over the NFL.

I don't think he really is.

Tom Brady is actually the consummate team player when things are going well.

But when they aren't he becomes a whiny frustrated finger pointing douche.

He's been fortunate that for the vast majority of his career things have gone well. And yes he has had a heck of a lot to do with that.

To me he is the Michael Jordan of football. If you watch the doc they did on Jordan, he can be prickly, however the entire thing is about holding the team to a standard and letting it be known that we don't settle for anything less. Brady raises the entire team around him in prax, games. Go back to the Bucs champ.. Tony Gonzalez talks about how Brady almost got him out of retirement to play. He recruited Gronk who had a multi-TD day, A. Brown who had a TD and Fournette I think signed on as well in large part due to Brady. He's not just a team player, but he built the dang team, for the World Champ Bucs.

Consider he left a fortune on the table for his teams to get more talent / team around him. He's the ultimate team player imo.
