[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 878563"] Of course it would not be a smart move. If not on its face, then you need more somethin' somethin' on the reward side to help offset the risk. $4.8 mil in cap savings doesn't cut it. When the Chiefs traded Smith to Washington, they saved $15.6 mil in cap and got Kendall Fuller (promising at the time) and a 3rd. round pick in return. Besides, any Smith-Mohomes gap in a projection when not knowing exactly what the young player would do is narrower than any Rodgers-Love gap predicated on the latter playing a couple of games and throwing 50 balls. I think you need more on the reward side of the equation to justify the transition. And you really can't compare the Favre-Rodgers transition to this situation given that Favre could not be counted on to show up to training camp, if at all, from one January to the next spring. You have to have a plan for this kind of thing and Favre was frustrating that planning. 2022, with the Rodgers departure yielding $22.7 mil in cap savings, you're getting into some serious compensation for the risk plus whatever you might get in trade. Rodgers cost to a new team for the last two years on his contract would be $52 mil, pretty attractive if Rodgers puts up a 2021 season like Smith in his final KC year. The point I was making is that getting Rodgers to take a salary cut to make him more attractive in a trade is the least likely of a wide range of possibilities. At one of the spectrum, the team sh*ts the bed behind Rodgers and he becomes the scapegoat, or Rodgers is injured and Love plays great, accelerating the process. At the other end of the spectrum, Love looks as clueless as Kizer in limited action or Rodgers wins a Super Bowl in which case he isn't going anywhere unless he changes his mind and retires. And if that isn't enough uncertainty, we don't even know how much football will even be played this year. One thing is for sure. They didn't take Love to be a backup insurance policy or for develop-and-trade value. [/QUOTE]
