[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 496121"] $103 million guaranteed? I don't think so. If the guy suffers a career threatening (or ending) injury in the early years of the contract, the team is screwed for half a decade or more: Dead cap after year 1 = $95 million Dead cap after year 2 = $82 million Dead cap after year 3 = $65 million 2013 Oakland Raiders dead cap = $46 - $56 million Dead cap after year 4 = $46 million Otherwise, I like the deal you propose. In fact, the cash payout in the first 6 years is no different than adding 4 years / $100 million to the last 2 years of Rodgers' current contract, assuming a $40 mil signing bonus. With the $50 mil signing bonus and no additional guarantees, your deal ends up being about the same as Flacco's over the first 6 years, assuming no renegotiations in the interim. However, without the untenable $103 mil guarantee, Rodgers would likely want more money in those first 6 years. It's not hard to understand why this is taking longer than expected. [/QUOTE]
