Per Gerry Dulac,

Florio guessed 2 years, $90 million for Rodgers with $40 guaranteed...
If that's the case, they better do what the Jets did and add two void years at the end to absorb that ridiculous cap hit to be more manageable. At this point, give me Daniel Jones and draft Dart in the first. I could get on board with that massive reach over paying a 41 year old QB 45m a year
 
That's SB winning qb Kenny to you. 🤪

As many rings as Mikey
More than Watt and Cam and Minkah combined 😂

Does he get a lifetime appointment now too?

SB winner Slay says hi…but now he has the chance to win the illustrious Tomlinship, he doesn’t have one of those yet.
 
At least Russ has a legit WR who will play hard and not sulk
Hopefully Metcafs presence will spur Pickens to grow up.

You have seen Metcalf cry about targets before right?

Dude is most of the things people slay GP for…but with far worse hands
 
Please tell me I was having a nightmare and we aren't even thinking of giving Rodgers $45 million per for 2 years! Kahn and team really screwed this one. Even though they have come off their high horse in regard to guaranteed money, they refused to give Fields that and the guarantee he would be in the pole position like Wilson was. And, they decided not to pursue Wilson anymore. How does Rodgers make sense other than they royally screwed up and/or Tomlins man-crush blinded everyone making this decision. Rodgers should not be getting any more than we were going to give Fields.

I heard we were only offering Fields 20 million guaranteed

I believe they are one in the same reason

This is exactly what I was thinking. Even with Rodgers, they pretty much have to reach this year for a QB. You can't go into the season thinking Rodgers can even make it to or finish one season let alone two. That or they are hoping he gets hurt so they can get a better draft pick next year.

Rodgers is also a statue at his age. How does this make sense for future planning when Tomlin is so enamored with mobile QB's that have mostly taken over the league. Are they going to bring Rudolph back too? He is more mobile than Rodgers by a mile.

First, I'll preface this by saying that I do not want Rodgers. But he did play in more games than Wilson did last year, in fact he played in all 17 games last year, and their OL was worse than ours.

Second, I don't know where the "Tomlin is enamored with mobile QB's" even came from. The only mobile QB that he's had was Fields, and he sat his *** down as soon as he could when Wilson was healthy. The media has made this up, and everyone has bought into it without there being any proof behind it. They ran with it, when they showed their smoke screen with Malik Willis.

Tomlin has openly talked about wanting a mobile QB. I don't blame him. It's a great asset to have at QB as long as that QB is looking to throw as his first 2 or 3 options. It's not a bad thing. I'd rather have a mobile QB as well.

I've seen him talk about the value mobile QB's have in today's NFL, but never that he wants one. If he wanted one as badly as some here might say, they wouldn't have lowballed Fields and allowed him to get away. He was the most mobile QB available in FA and the draft by far.
 
so we have the Gints and Steelers still needing QBs and Rodgers, Wilson and Danny Jones available.

Since they lowballed Fields, they may take whichever of Rodgers or Wilson accepts a lower offer. Maybe they also give Danny boy a 1 year look at backup, on the cheap?

With the offense we run....just go with who we have. Or sign Rudy as you said. No reason to break the bank on a QB in this offense.

yeah he's been on that kick since Ben left, always talking about the value of mobile QB's

At this point may as well wait and price just keeps going down

No need to do anything right now, just wait and leverage a better deal

All the crap left on the heap is just that

No one is racing us to that crap heap
 
Maybe we should just grab a couple of Bert/Jacoby Brisset/Rudy/etc. and draft some guy in 6th/7th hoping for Marsha/Brock Purdy
