[QUOTE="sschind, post: 785531, member: 10247"] You extended Rodger to make sure you had the best QB in football on your team for the next 6 years and then building around him. Extending Rodgers had nothing to do with Mack. I agree that they would have been in a better position to win a SB THIS YEAR with Mack (assuming he would have signed a similar deal.) I'm not so sure that could be said about future years when you tack on an extra 8 million plus in cap hits and start losing top draft picks. Is the better chance to win this year worth the potential decreased chances in the future? So what do you think it would have taken for the Packers to get Mack. Assume for a minute that Gute was all in and prepared to do whatever he had to do. It should be obvious that our two first round picks would not have gotten the job done since it is likely that the Bears two picks will be higher, probably 10-15 picks higher. What else would you have thrown in to make up for that. It is possible that not asking for the second round pick back would have done it but I doubt it. Not asking for the second and throwing in a second is probably more accurate. I'm not sure why you say a 2 year window unless you figure his production will drop after that. His cap hit stays relatively stable for the life of the contract after this year of course. Its still high for a defensive player but it doesn't skyrocket like Rodgers' does after two years. Of course when you consider he is a defensive player you could say it skyrockets after this year (13 million to 22 million) Hypothetically lets say Wilkerson finishes with a very good year. Top 10-15 statistically. What do you suppose that puts his price at next year 15 million? 20? and is it out of the Packers range? Yes but that doesn't mean it would be wise to spend it all on one guy. I don't think 6 years is a short window but you obviously think it is less than that so are you assuming his play will dramatically decrease in the next 2-3 years? or why are you saying short window?
