[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 950954"] Actually you don't have any clue about how the cap works. I don't believe the Packers are currently talented enough on offense to win a lot of games while not featuring an elite quarterback. Therefore, if the team doesn't expect Rodgers back it would have been smart to cut the losses now, right the cap situation, add young talent via the draft and might be competitive again in a year or two. I'm not suggesting Love won't develop into a decent quarterback at the NFL level. While the early returns aren't promising it's way too early to make a fair evaluation about him. My point is that without Rodgers a drop-off in performance is all but guaranteed to happen anyway, therefore I would prefer to right the cap situation next year instead of pushing a ton of money into future seasons which will handicap the rebuild that would start in 2022. It's true the Packers had to make moves to get under the cap. But the ones they actually made strongly indicates the team expects Rodgers to be back. Otherwise they could have made some others to create enough cap space. It's not a cheap shot at Love at all. A team drafting a quarterback in the first round needs to take advantage of him being on a rookie deal as long as possible. It's a terrible idea to use such a high pick on a QB not expected to contribute during his first four years in the league though. First of all, at the time of the 2020 draft Rodgers was under contract through the '23 season, the team shortened the deal by a year last offseason. The fifth year option would cost the Packers $20 million to retain Love for the 2024 season, hardly a decent deal for an unproven quarterback. Most of you don't understand that it's not about Love at all. It was a mistake to select a quarterback at that point. Period. The Packers don't need to make any move until March 8th when they need to decide if to tag Adams. Until then there's no reason to make any public announcements. [/QUOTE]
