[QUOTE="paulska, post: 495441, member: 557"] If there is one thing I think we can have confidence in with our team management is that they understand how to manage the financial side of personnel come-and-go. Too many people forget how angry people were that Charles Woodson got HUGE (as in slightly less than the largest FA contract awarded to a defensive player) money when we brought him in, but that deal was structured in a way that used existing cap space to great effect to pay up front so later years of the deal weren't crippling to our team being able to manoeuvre and resign other key assets. The scale of the deals we're talking about now are unprecedented for Packers types- ARod may well hit $250 mil total value, and CM3's deal will eclipse deals for the best (in terms of dominant play) defensive players in team history (see Reggie White's first deal to bring him to GB, CWoodson's FA deal) Someone with excel skills might want to do a comparative look at the relative amount of cap space big past deals took up compared to the numbers being bandied about for ARod and CM3 (Favre's average annual cap hit vs. cap VS. ARod's project annual cap hit vs cap, same for Reggie/CWood vs. CM3). I think it would be interesting to see if that ratio has ballooned much- meaning, does keeping elite players cost teams more relative cap space annually than it used to? If we want ARod around for his prime years, when he can still run elusively, we're going to pay him top dollar. He's not in the spot that Tom Brady is in- having made top of the food chain money for a whole major contract, and he can now play for less than market value to make sure he has weapons around him late in his career to earn another shot at a title and a stamp on the game as perhaps the GOAT. It's the economics of the game. Like it or hate it... [/QUOTE]
