ARod and the $200 mil mistake

[Ike Kelly]

Folks Shefter is reporting the 4 year extension for $200 mil. GB FO blinked, and now Pandora‘s Box has been opened. Absolutely asinine on their part. Should have let him retire and let him cry while Love started.

 

[Steeler Pride]

With 153M guaranteed, they are going to be in cap hell.

 

[BLITZ]

And Lamar Jackson is loving life today.

What a great call… ravens sign that bum for 50 mil per and are division bums for a decade

Hopefully that means baker mayfield is worth 30 million plus… he won a playoff game after all lol

 

[BamaSteeler52]

Looks like Love will be sitting like Rodgers did with Farve...

 

[Wolf44]

He is 7-9 in the playoffs since beating us in the Super Bowl 12 years ago. Stupid move

Love will be traded. Let's hope it's not the Steelers that get roped into that deal.

baker didnt get a new contract and I doubt he does. My bold prediction is the Browns will drat a QB and start him next year.

You talk about a team that can't find that franchise QB.

What about a second for Love?

A second what?
I keed, I keed ... But still

 

[SteelerSask2]

Well they are not keeping Jordan Love with 200 million in Rodgers. And he isn't worth a first.

 

[Punxsutawney]

Somehow Rodgers was able to leverage himself into deciding if he wanted to play for the Packers.

Apparently he does, but at a lofty price tag.

One has to wonder if he would have played for less somewhere else, as he really hates the Packers front office.

 

[SteelBuckeye]

Well they are not keeping Jordan Love with 200 million in Rodgers. And he isn't worth a first.

I was questioning whether he was worth a SECOND. Watched him in the preseason ... Deer/Headlights. And truly would be a little concerned if we gave up a second (thereby hitching our proverbial wagon to) for this guy.

[steelcan58]

It was obviously always all about the money for Rodgers, not winning. Maybe Rodgers (or someone else) can explain how him getting paid $50 million a year will help the Packers score more than 10 points in a playoff game.

 

[SteelerFan448]

I wonder what he means by this.

 

[Drink IRON City]

With 153M guaranteed, they are going to be in cap hell.

I thought someone here said they (GB) was currently 20-ish million over the cap currently. If that is actually true,....... they've got some creative work to do.

I can't blame them for spending max cap but on a 38yr old QB..................Sheeeesh

Salute the nation

And Lamar Jackson is loving life today.

I thought this too and I hope like hell Action Jackson's contract is this PLUS a lot and for eternity.

That the numbers aren't correct.

With his mom reportedly doing the negotiating this is gonna be very interesting! Agents are like lawyers…..an evil necessity. Sorry to any lawyers on here but you’re unfortunately viewed that way by us little people

 

[Stryker]

No way to I tie up that kind of money on an ancient QB. One hit ***** the pack for 3 years. If that money is guaranteed they better fix that Oline.

Fixing the oline would take money. They have no cap space left.

 

[FatsHolmes]

What about a second for Love?

Why give up draft capital for someone who is essentially Mason Rudolph or Dwayne Haskins - an unproven quarterback with a college pedigree? We're better off drafting an offensive lineman or middle linebacker with that second.

Yep

They already are! They're dead last in the league at 48M over the new cap number with 7M in dead money.
