[QUOTE="sschind, post: 910541, member: 10247"] I'm not sure but I think some people might be suggesting there might be a little something extra in Rodgers new contract to make up for anything he loses in fines. Obviously they couldn't word it as "fine reimbursement" but just adding a couple hundred thousand to the total would accomplish the same thing. A little nudge nudge wink wink if you will. In lots of cases players are probably not asked to pay back signing bonus money unless it is a huge amount or there is a serious conflict. Both come into play here. Depending on the circumstances the team may not think it is worth it to pursue reimbursement. In this case I think it would be worth it. In many ways it can be looked at as a parting gift or severance pay for a job well done. On the other hand maybe its SOP and you just never hear about it because its a given. I just remember hearing a few cases where it made the news when teams didn't pursue it but even though I can't recall the specific players they were high profile cases. Since his name has come up recently I think Andrew Luck may have been one of them. The Colts could have asked him to repay some of it but they didn't Probably not nearly as much as you think they will. How much money do you think the Packers will make off Rodgers after his retirement assuming they make nice and he finishes his career here? They will get some money from Jersey sales and the like but after he retires, heck probably even after this year, that amount will go down as people move on to the next guy. When they host fan events and Rodgers makes an appearance they would make money off that but my guess is with the Packers fan base it won't make much difference if Rodgers is there or not. I'm not sure where you think all this money is coming from that they risk losing if they alienate him. They have made a lot off him already way more, way way more than they will after he retires. I'm not sure what the risk is. The few fans that stop supporting the team over the way they treated Rodgers is a drop in the bucket compared to the loyal Packer fans who will continue to support the team no matter what happens with Rodgers.
