[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1028988, member: 7261"] Yup. It was a six-year, $65 million extension that made him the NFL’s fourth-highest paid quarterback. I believe it carried a $20M guarantee. So in todays numbers, probably not all that much different than what the Packers face with Love. I am not questioning if the Packers should or shouldn't do it, I think they pretty much have to. What I was pointing out was the ridiculous nature of the NFL and contract guarantees. In the case of Love and yes, Rodgers back in 2008, laying this kind of money out, on an unsure thing. I understand that a guy can get injured and never play again, but the frequency and odds of that happening? Also, are they insuring if that happens, that he will have enough money to not have to work again? Seems like they are now insuring that he, his family and 20 others are set for a life of luxury if he stops playing football, injured or not. EDIT: Had to add, that Rodgers contract in 2008 was done on Halloween. Sort of fitting, based on what happened in his final years in Green Bay. [/QUOTE]
