On the brink of Joe Flacco earning his big money payday which could be in the range of $20m+ per year with up to $40m in guarantees it got me thinking.
Rodgers > Flacco
Rodgers is likely to bargain he is better than Flacco and only one year older so he should be paid as such. A lot of you argue he will take a hometown discount with the Pack, but I don't agree. Players very rarely take discounts.
So let's say Rodgers and his agent David Dunn walk up to the bargaining table and demand a 5 year 115 million dollar contract with 50 million guaranteed. Do we pay him that? What is the max number you think Thompson would pay him? Are we actually really willing to let Aaron Rodgers walk?
Rodgers contract runs out after 2014 so this is all coming up really quick. This year would typically be the bargaining year to get an extension done. The Quarterback franchise tag would be about $15 million then, while the "Exclusive" tag could be up to $22 million.
Let me know what you guys think what could happen with Rodgers and his contract.
