Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bobby Roberts" data-source="post: 13438" data-attributes="member: 260">The problem for Rogers isn't about where the numbers are, it's about when Brett will retire and how to address it if Rogers becomes the starting QB.  This is tricky because Brett could retire after this season, but Rogers might not get the starting role.  Or Brett could retire 3 years down the road, while Rogers would have to sit and wait.  So it's going to be a complicated contract based on certain incentives such as playing time.  The complication is how to direct those incentives.  Usually incentives are written for reaching goals in a particular year.  It's rather difficult to build that in when you don't know what year of the contract he'll get a chance to start.  Another tricky point will be the length of the contract.  GB has been working to sign draftees to longer contracts.  I'm sure the goal will be a 6 or 7 year deal.  The longer the contract, the tricky it gets in the specifics for each year.As for the situation with Murphy, I think he was waiting because of the Walker situation.  His agent most likely saw an opportunity with a Walker holdout to get a little more for his client.</blockquote>
