[QUOTE="texaspackerbacker, post: 496113, member: 25"] OK, if you think the 3 1/2% is reasonable, let's use that as an example. That makes the cap $132 million - up $9 million in 2 years and $146 million - up $23 million in 5 years and $173 million = up $50 million in 10 years. Rodgers cap number is $10 million + now. I don't like the 4 year $22-25 million figure written about in several articles as being discussed. Longer term is better. The model I previously calculated called for a $50 million bonus and salary of $3, 8, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 25, 30, and 35 million a year for ten years. That would be just an $8 million cap hit the first year, $13 million the second, etc. The total would be $231 million. Make the first 5 years guaranteed - a total with the bonus of $103 million. Even the brutal late years would not be too terrible, given the higher cap, if Rodgers played through the whole deal like Favre did, and the first year would actually be lower than now. After five or maybe 6, 7, or 8 or 9 years, he could be cut if he fades - which I doubt - or gets injured to the point of retirement. Something similar but les, with about a 6 year deal for $65 million or so and maybe 3 guaranteed would work for Matthews, and still leave plenty for whatever other future deals were made. Everybody has the same cap to deal with. 26 of the 32 teams are worse off than the Packers now. Most of them will have star player contracts to deal with also, and the ones who don't will probably be on the lower end of the quality spectrum. Bottom line, this is doable and nothing really to worry too much about. Yes to your last sentence, unless circumstances in the future give him reason for regrets like possibly is the case with Brady.
