I'm not sure if there's ever been this much anticipation about a contract extension. It seems like every two weeks we're being told it's moving. Should we start a pool on the final numbers?

5 additional years

$175 million of additional money

$80 million guaranteed

Total Contract: $216 million over 7 years with $121 million guaranteed

I agree with those who say this will be a very different kind of contract.  The one thing about Rodgers previous statement about negotiations was giving the team, not him,  "more freedom".  There would have to be a sliding scale in there somewhere.  

Meh, reading that article it seems a bit click baity.

I'm curious as well if they will be able to get away with doing something unique with this contract. Andrew Brandt seemed skeptical that the NFL would allow anything outside the box and if Rodgers is insistent there be something unique (doubt it) then this process will draw out longer. Rodgers is very business focused it seems, so I'm sure the part they're stuck on is guaranteed $'s. 

Go Gute Go!

lol sure Aaron missed practice on Monday due to illness. IMO they were hammering through the deal.

EDIT: Schefter adds that this deal, expected to be the largest in NFL history, "will be well beyond the two years remaining on his contract and quite likely for the remainder of his career".

He's now on a 6 year, $201 million deal. That's less than I expected. Very happy with that.

This is a little more than $30/year.  BIG TIME $.



Almost literally emptying the safe for their star player. May need to have another stock sale to replenish the losses!
