[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 478635"] You're probably close on the general outline of the deal...7 year/$120 mil solid money, i.e., sans gimmicky incentives, option years and other outs and iffy propositions. However, I'd not be surprised to see hefty roster bonuses in the last couple of years included in that $120 mil. The per year $ in this outline would be about what Brady got in 2010, though his deal was for 5 years (note age difference). However, there is no way Rodgers gets $100 mil guaranteed. I believe the largest guarantee in any contract to date is the $60 mil in Calvin Johnson's deal this past offseason. The next highest were Sam Bradford's rookie deal, Fitzgerald's 2011 deal and Mario Williams' 2012 deal, all with $50 mil guaranteed. If Rodgers were to suffer a disabling injury, $100 mil guaranteed money would kill the cap for years to come. I doubt it will go above $50 mil. The Packers are not known for groundbreaking, scale-breaking deals, and that is a good thing. Your annual salary allocations add up to $100 mil, so I guess you're figuring on a $20 mil signing bonus. The amount of the signing bonus and the distribution of salary across years depends on what they have in mind for guys like Jennings, Woodson and Pickett. If they want to pay most of these guys, then they'll have to shift cap hits to out years, which would mean a bigger signing bonus for Rodgers and slimmer yearly salary in the front years of the contract. If we assume most of those guys will be gone or severely renegotiated down (as I believe), there will be more flexibility in how they might structure Rodgers' the deal. Raji will get some money if he doesn't go FA, and Matthews will get a lot of money, and this will play in as well. Generally speaking, you can probably figure the larger the signing bonus, the lower the salary will be in the first year or two of the deal. [/QUOTE]
