Aaron Rodgers, take 2

[Libero_2]

With cap hits spread out over 5 years right?

Dude wants another ring and he’s giving us the ability to try and help but him the talent needed to get it.

Hell freaking yes.

I still expect us to be “buyers” at the trade deadline and my number 1 target is Mike Evans. He’s on an expiring deal in Tampa and he’s almost certainly going to walk. I’d gladly give them their comp pick a year early to secure him and push the offense over the top.

Obviously he still needs to perform to make this all worth it but it's really hard to overstate what a big deal this is.

While I'm still lukewarm about it, I think the odds of us signing Cook just went up.

Obviously he still needs to perform to make this all worth it but it's really hard to overstate what a big deal this is.

I am curious what the cap implications will be later on.

So much for the "Jets tax"...

The PR on this is fantastic.  Arods agent needs a raise.

To summarize, the Jets basically got retirement insurance.
Arod turned his 3 yr deal at $35MM a year into a 2 yr deal at $35MM a year.  He didn't really take a paycut.


This is super helpful for us if he only plays two years.  We would be fucked otherwise as the contract is fully guaranteed.

But if AROD plans on playing 3 years he'll end up getting the money he was owed and then some.

It's helpful, but this isn't some saintly act.

Didn't know about the non guaranteed year.  So again he didn't take a paycut he just turned his contract from 110M guaranteed to 75M guaranteed.

It's super helpful if he retires, but he isn't mother teresa

I hope Pete Bukowski chokes on all of this

Thats literally a "paycut"

[MexJetinBcn]

It is a paycut. Nobody expects him to play 3 years, if he does, it’s because he’s been great and he deserves those 35M

[casman02]

The trade seems even better now (somehow)!

Also I had 2 wishes as camp was starting. Re-sign Q and restructure A Rod. Both done. Time for Douglas to go nuts with any FAs he pleases
