Not surprised at all. All the talk about going to an AFC team made no sense whatsoever to me, especially Denver.

 

Guy wants to get to another Super Bowl then joins a division with Mahomes/Herbert plus Allen/Burrow/Jackson/probably forgetting someone in the conference? Staying in Green Bay seemed very obvious.

Wow.   I'm not a contract or cap guy, but this seems to me to be a big mistake by the Packers.   

 

I think Rodgers is something of a loose cannon.  Certainly a prima donna.  He's a spectacular player, to be sure, but I'd bet that by his second season under this deal, he'll be a problem.  

 

Pack can't start Jordan Love in 2022, or in 2023.  After the 2022 season, Pack will have to decide whether to extend Jordan Love, and after 2023 they'll have to decide whether to extend him.  Have they already decided that Love isn't the guy?    Maybe they'll trade him. 

 

I don't know.  Just seems like there are a lot of problems built into this deal.  

 

Great deal for Rodgers.   $143 guaranteed.   Nearly $80 million after tax.  He doesn't need a nickel of it, so his children and grandchildren, if he ever has any, will be set for life.  

 

And if he's unhappy after a year, he can force a trade to a team that needs a QB to make a serious Super Bowl run.

I mean I get what you mean, but if the alternative to this deal is entering QB purgatory then it makes all the sense in the world.
