[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 981912"] My bad, I thought you were taking a shot at Rodgers for wanting to play. Nobody is advocating for the Packers to go all in by throwing every cent of cap space they have available at OBJ (or some other free agent available) to possibly improve their chances of making the playoffs. But, in my opinion there's no reason to bench the team's best players as long as there's still a theoretical chance of making the playoffs. As a side note, using the fear of players getting injured is a pretty lame attempt at trying to justify your approach to the rest of the season. In a trade the remaining prorated portion of any bonuses already having been paid to a player will count against the team's cap. In Rodgers case that would result in $40.3 million of dead money if he's traded next offseason and $68.205 million after the 2023 season. The Packers would finish with a 7-5 record against NFC opponents if they win their remaining games. The Seahawks would have to lose another two games against NFC opponents (Niners, Rams, Panthers) for the Packers to win that tiebreaker. Once again, if the Packers end up in a three way tie with the Seahawks and either the Giants or Commanders the head-to-head tiebreaker doesn't apply anymore as a team would have had to sweep all teams tied with each other to win it. That's only true if there is still future guaranteed money remaining in the contract of a player traded. While that would be the case with Rodgers if traded next offseason there's no difference once the moves is made starting after the 2023 season. [/QUOTE]
