[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 878483"] They did that in December 2019, converting $14 mil in roster bonus to signing bonus, getting $11 mil in cap savings for 2020. There is no more cap savings to be had in Rodgers contract for 2020. For 2021, there are three possibilities, none plausible, involving his $22 mil in salary and roster bonus in 2021: 1) You could restructure up to $21 mil of that across his current contract, pushing a chunk of that $21 mil into his 2022-2023 cap costs, currently $40 mil and $28 mil respectively. The dead cap in 2022 is $17 mil and you'd be piling more on top of that. Love is an exit strategy. I don't see the Packers making that more problematic by piling more dead cap on top. 2) You could add years to his contract and spread a chunk of that $22 mil out over more years. This happens a lot in the NFL with younger players, adding years and cutting current cap cost in the process with that signing bonus. Rodgers is not a young player. Did I say Love is an exit strategy? 3) You ask him to take a pay cut off that $22 mil that's cuttable in 2021. That's kind of an LOL. The Packers have no leverage. His dead cap is $32 mil in 2021. He's uncuttable and untradeable if he declines, so why would he agree? An appropriate Rodgers response would be, "You should have thought about 'win now' before drafting a QB in the first round in 2020. Now you want me to take a pay cut to 'win now'?" Really, there's no point in asking if you expect him to be the starter in 2021, which he absolutely must be with that dead cap number. All you'll do is **** off your franchise QB. [/QUOTE]
