I think it is because this is a roster bonus vs signing bonus. I think they could extend him with more voids years and spread it out though (to your point)

Really curious on AR. If the price comes down I wonder if he comes back?

That’s because people are stupid. You can’t grossly overpay and/or sign guys who you don’t think are a great fit just to “throw Fields a bone”.
Good teams are patient and show restraint in FA.

This approach during the John Fox era was one of the things Pace got right.
How he went from that to the cap spending nut by the end of his tenure I have no idea.

It's the Brady faulty logic too. Everyone now assumes that since Brady played well into his 40s that it's going to happen again with Rodgers. Brady is the 1st QB in NFL history to win an MVP after the age of 40. Rodgers could EASILY start to fade in the next year or 2. Probably more likely than not actually.

When he is retired, the cap hit cashes in.

Pretty sure they can still do void years with it. They'll be fine I'm sure. Don't get your hopes up

Shocked he hasn’t signed yet. I’d take him back at 16

I think he thought he had the foundation built so he was trying to take advantage of Mitch's rookie contract, basically going all in on a team he thought could win the superbowl. He just missed on Trubisky and Nagy, which are massive misses of course, and now you have a mess to clean up as a result. If we had a superbowl win to show for it then it would have made it a lot more palatable.

At that point their run is over and in rebuild mode they prob won’t give af. Just maximize the years that they have Rodgers to win it all

If he retires or sucks after 2023 and is not on the team, the cap hit in 2024 becomes 75 million.
