Yeah, but that's only like $45,000,000 to $50,000,000 after taxes. Poor guy.

Aaron Rogers just made it difficult for us to retain Nathan Peterman.  Nate will be wanting more.

 

He will demand more Royales with Cheese in his next contract so he'll never be hungry.

When salary caps and free agency first cam along, some were worried that eventually, the league would be about teams with 3 or 4 ultra super stars making ALL the money, and everyone else making league minimum.


We have never been closer to that reality.

 

Teams are slowly realizing what is vitally important and the fact that the rest doesn't really matter.

They need a better CBA and a much stronger, more intelligent union. It's absolutely ludicrous they haven't been able to negotiate higher salaries imo.

This was a mistake. Packers could have rode out the last two years of his deal and franchised him for 2 or 3 more and not have spent this much and more importantly had flexibility when his skills hit the wall due to age and decline.(not everyone has Brady DNA diet Giselle influence TB12 clinics and luck to play into 40's......etc etc...… Thay are now in salary cap hell.

 

I get they want to keep the best player they ever had happy, but at what cost? Packers Super Bowl window is about to slam shut.

 

NFL is s business. Great players hold out like Mack, others refuse a below market deal(Cousins)and teams also play hardball.

Agreed.

 

Min salaries need to be adjusted much higher. This would leave a little less for these mega deals. Everyone would still get rich.

 

IMHO 450k min salary for rookies is way too low. It should start at 1 mill. at least. Same with PS players 7.6 k per week is way too low. Pay during training camp and preseason is also embarrassing for the risk they take. 1k to 1.8 k per week.

I always liked him.  He has a huge chip on his shoulder and he knows how awesome he is.  I think most really good athletes are like him.

100% agree.  He is great at his job, and incredibly intelligent.  That said, he isn't exactly humble about knowing either of those things.  It's off putting.

 

He is a great player.  But, he isn't Tom Brady and its not all that close.
