[QUOTE="sschind, post: 946747, member: 10247"] I will be the first to admit I am not addicted to watching athlete press conferences and interviews as some of you are so I may have missed a few things here and there. I'm going off what I remember, or at least what I think I remember. and to help me clarify my answer let me ask you one. what is this talking smack. Are you talking about all the pre season BS about not wanting to play here because I don't really feel that was contract or money related. That was more about respect and control. If I recall correctly he has always said how much it would mean to play his entire career for one team. Yes he has admitted that this may not be possible but I still think it is a goal. Second, while he has decried these recent contracts signed by younger "lesser" QBs I don't recall him saying he wanted to be the highest paid either. At least not recently. I think it has more to do with control of when he decided to call it quits as opposed to the team telling him he is done than it does with money. If the Packers want him back and they are willing to give him a contract that will allow him to walk away in 2-3 years or however many he wants then he may take less than the top paid to do it. Another thing he has to realize is that he doesn't have the room to play with that these young bucks do. Guys like Mahomes and and Allen and Burrow when his time comes and maybe Herbert and Murray, they are young enough to be able to sign the long term deals that make it viable for teams to offer. Look at Mahomes" deal. It was for 10 years but it doesn't really super sticky cap wise until 2027 and then its for only 1 year and it falls back to "normal" or what will likely be the normal by then. In fact I'd guess that by 2028 the Chiefs will be getting a steal. My point is if Rodgers wants to average 45 million a year he's going to have to count 45 million a year or at some point he's going to have to count 60. He doesn't have the time to stretch it out with 2 or 3 million dollar increases per year On the other hand I don't think we will see a prolonged negotiation in fact it would not surprise me if the Packers made an offer that made him the top paid right off the bat. If that happens we will never know if he would have taken less. I'm not sure if that answered you question. In short (coulda said this first and saved us all some time but you know me:D) its more of a gut feeling about what I think is more important to Aaron Rodgers. I don't think being the highest paid is as important to him anymore but that doesn't mean he won't be. [/QUOTE]
