[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 989887, member: 9033"] I'm not ignoring a key component...the GM is the guy that signed him to that deal. I don't understand how we can avoid knowing that the GM WANTED this cap hit when he signed the guy to exactly that cap hit. Look, if the packers can get a good haul for Rodgers I am fine with them wanting to move on to Love; but, and this is my primary issue with Gute's 2020 draft, the team has now wasted all but one of the cheap years with Love. People want to blame an expensive QB for the issues on this team but the primary issue is that the roster is REALLY top heavy and doesn't have very much in the way of good players on rookie contracts. That's not going to magically change because Love is counting $30m less against the cap (which would leave the team with roughly $14m in cap space), it just means the Packers might go out and sign a mid-level free agent (let's say they go out and sign DJ Chark to help Love). This team's issues are the offense has been allowed to rot, relying on Rodgers to support a weak group of skill position players (and that's going to leave Love with a really hard job when/if he starts this season), while supposedly building an elite defense that isn't even really an average defense. Unless the Packers can somehow get Sauce Gardner PLUS a first in a trade with the Jets, then I think good things can happen. My primary point is that, 9 times out of 10, the GM is going to keep around the elite QB no matter how expensive because an elite QB is the best job security for a coach/GM on the planet (just look at Ted and McCarthy) and keeping their job is generally priority one for most people.
