[QUOTE="texaspackerbacker, post: 496173, member: 25"] It's what I would do - the driving up the market price I mean hahaha, but the more relevant point is it's not what Thompson would do - probably. As for the "spectacular" aspect, you said yourself in the post above, HRE, that the model I suggested wouldn't be that much more than Flacco and some of the others - but my point is, it would LOOK better - Imagine the headline, "Packers sign Rodgers for Record $231 million Contract" - those in the know knowing that those brutal last few years will either not be reached or will be restructured or by that time will seem a lot less brutal. So what would be the benefit of a super long term "career" contract for that kind of money? From the team's point of view, no chance of ever losing the guy who will probably end his career being the greatest QB in NFL history - I place THAT at a greater priority than the worry expressed above about dead money after a career-ending injury or whatever. From Rodgers point of view, even without guaranteed money beyond the first 2 or 3 or maybe 4 or 5 years, he knows, similar to Favre, if he plays at a high level - which every prideful superstar expects of himself - he will get all or almost all of that huge money in the end - because if he is still playing great, it's unthinkable for the Packers to cut him, even at the ridiculous 8th, 9th, and 10th year amounts.
