Process Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Even the best team in the league, which the jets are not and will not be, has what a 15% chance of winning the Superbowl? That's an absurd amount of money to voluntarily hand back over two seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 This is a savings on 2024's contract, according to Spotrac the Jets are sitting at 13.3 million in cap space with Rodgers cap number at 8.8 million. Next year Rodgers cap hit which was slated to be something crazy like 75-100 million now comes down to a high but manageable 45.1 million. This is good news for the Jets longer term as it maybe gives them a shot to run it back with Rodgers once more, but the impact on this years cap is not there. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-jets/cap/ 1 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding, most of the money on the contract was ballooned crap for cap purposes. I had the same thought but It seems like he did actually give up guaranteed money, at least according to the ESPN article. Quote Rodgers, 39, signed a two-year, $75 million contract that is fully guaranteed, a source said. He was due to make close to $110 million in guarantees on his previous contract. This is an uncommonly large pay cut, one that will provide financial flexibility for the organization over the next two years. If this is accurate, it’s very unlike Rodgers. He squeezed Green Bay for every penny. I’d be kind of pissed if I were a packers fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
