Packers would love to trade Rodgers, dump that terrible salary. The trouble is, most of the stupid teams have already played their hand in terms of QB (Broncos, Browns). I wonder what a team would give up for him, Certainly not a #1 I hope.

This is all from spotrac (the bolding and underline are mine):

  • $101.515M guaranteed at signing (2022 salary, 2022 roster bonus, 2023 salary, 2023 option bonus)
  • 2022 Roster Bonus: $40.8M (fully guaranteed, treated as signing bonus, $20.4M paid 6/20/22, $20.4M paid 9/30/22)
  • 2023 Option Bonus: $58.3M (guaranteed, must be exercised between March 17, 2023 – Week 1)
  • 2024 Option Bonus (to exercise the 2026 compensation): $47M (injury guaranteed at signing, fully guarantees the 5th day of the 2024 waiver period)
  • Declining either of the 2023-2024 options converts the base salary for that year into the bonus figure ($58.3M, $47M respectively)
  • 2025 Roster Bonus: $5M (paid 4/15/2025)
  • 2026 Roster Bonus: $5M (paid 4/15/2026)
  • 5 year total contract value: $186,750,000
  • 3 year contract value: $150,815,000
  • 2 new year contract value: $123,844,412

More than one hall of fame qb has done this. They play their whole career with one team and then go and play one or two seasons at some place else. Why? Is it the competitive fire so they just can’t quit or is it the few more million dollars to line the coffers? Just hang it up and go out at the top (or near the top).
