I was expecting this as a strong possibility after they traded for Kizer. I would have rather kept both around and evaluate how each develops a little longer. You had two backups who both had received a fair amount of real game experience. Looks like 6th rounder 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moonshine 427 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1034854415814012934 Quote The #Packers and QB Aaron Rodgers have agreed to terms on a 4-year extension worth $134M, source said. He gets more than $80M by March. A huge first year payout for their star That is some serious money. I'd love to see more specifics on it, $80M by next March sounds bonkers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phenomena 331 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) So much for trading for Mack! $33M/year during his twilight years (age 37-40) is massive but it's still only 18% of the yearly cap space. For the best QB in the league, I'll take it. Edited August 29, 2018 by Phenomena Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matttyl 2,689 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I guess I'm not quite following. It's a 4 year extension worth $134m ($33m a year)....but that starts in 2020, and goes through 2023. He's still playing out the next two years of his current deal, both years around $20m a year. How does this $80m by March come into play? That's $60m more than he was going to get anyway, so that's got to come out of the $134m, taking it down to ~$74m to be paid out over those 4 years.....taking him to under $20m a year for those years.

It depends how they structured it. $20M this year's salary + $60M signing bonus would be $80M by March. Although I'm not sure why you would give a huge signing bonus if you were guaranteeing most of the contract - that makes it so you have to pay it now vs later and amortize over the next five years (immediately after paying it). They'd be better keeping the cap hit to $20M the next two years and load up on some talent for a final run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phenomena 331 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Non-Rodgers note .... Seems like there's a very real chance that Cobb gets cut. Allison has flourished, they have Graham and Adams making big money, and used numerous draft picks on WRs they can develop ... and Rodgers makes the WRs, not the other way around ... why do they need Cobb for another year? He's not going to be on the team next year, anyway. Why not save $8M in cash and 9.6M in cap hit and dump him now? Cobb has the 2nd highest cap hit of anyone on the team. That's not right. Dump Cobb and Matthews and use that $20M this year to trade for Mack! Edited August 29, 2018 by Phenomena Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could see them trading Cobb and getting some sort of return on him - but if they can't trade him I suspect they will keep him this season and get their money's worth.

But until it's a problem, don't mess with it. They serve a purpose. We are paying them more than they deserve for the roles they have, but that goes away next year. ETA: I could see them doing with Cobb what they did with Hawk previously- cut and resign. Edited August 29, 2018 by Dr. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope they got more than a conditional 7th for him. Word is they were offered something in the 5th-7th range for Huntley during the draft. I'm guessing a conditional 6th (if Huntley is on the SEA roster next year). Better than nothing if they were going to cut him anyway. i'm shocked about them carrying Tim Doyle. He seems no threat at all to be poached by another team. And we have a lot invested in our immediate backup. Why carry him on the active roster? Waste of a 53-man spot, imo. He might just go to the 53-man but be one of the 10 inactive on game day (I think only ~43 are active on game day). Edited August 29, 2018 by Phenomena Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nittanylion 733 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 You locals hearing anything trustworthy about Cobb's ankles/feet/somethinglowerlegs begins so bad, there's relatively little interest from potential trade partners? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greyhorse 101 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I think there is little interest in Cobb due to his salary, not because he is injured. If Cobb gets traded, does Geronimo become the other starting wide receiver for sure? Seems like there's so many of them. Anybody think Ty Montgomery gets back to playing WR?

They went to SEA during the prime Legion of Boom years and were up two TDs with 2 minutes left in the game. They dominated the whole game. Just unreal they didn't win that. So few injuries, dominant offense/defense. That was the 2nd SB year. F***** Bostick. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
