Interesting numbers on his “new” contract. No new money, pouring all the bonuses in 2021, guaranteeing 2022 salary. Huge up tick in dead money for 2022 (~$27M) with a pre-June 1 roster move (cut or trade), making it likely he’s in GB for 2022 (barring renegotiation). Contract voids on 7th day of league year in ‘23, the day after the franchise tag deadline, so they can’t tag him.

So he basically got ‘21 and ‘22 fully guaranteed (the commitment he wanted) and becomes a free agent in ‘23 barring an extension. Looks like GB gained ~$15M in cap space in ‘21 and ~$21M in ‘22 with this move.

Makes things a little dicey for GB IRT Jordan Love. Unless he just looks horrible or gets in trouble in ‘21 or ‘22 they will have to blindly exercise his 5th year option. He starts one year on his rookie deal in ‘23 and then they either extend him or play him in ‘24 on his 5th year option. With Rodgers I believe they re-signed him mid-year of his 4th year, but that was the final year of his rookie deal then, I don’t think they had the 5th year option.
