[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 785891"] Over the next 5 years, Rodgers' cap and cash averages $30.1 mil. The 6th. year is for $25.5 mil at which point the signing bonus proration will have rolled off with zero dead cap. That 6th. year is just a place holder, the outcome TBD. Rodgers cap number gradually increases each year and tops out $37 mil in year 5. Matt Ryan is at $28.3 mil over the next 5 years with a similar place holder in year 6 with a $30 mil cap number in that year and only $2 mil in dead cap. His cap number tops out at $35 mil in year 5. Kirk Cousins is at $28 mil over the next 3 years, fully guaranteed, with $30 mil in dead cap in year 3. He gets paid that full boat even if he sh*ts the bed. Garoppolo is is at $27.5 mil over the next 5 years but with a $4.2 mil dead cap in year 3 providing an out if he's a flash in the pan. If he pans out, he could be renegotiating a bump with more guarantees in year 3 and pass Rodgers. What a Wentz or some of the other up-and-comers might get when the time comes in the next few years is anybody's guess. So, when considering Rodgers is $2 mil over Ryan for the next 5 years, there is no player option in Rodgers contract as had been rumored, there is no guarantee he ill be the highest paid player throughout this contact as had been rumored, and the 5 year average is a couple mil lower than I would have expected, and the cap numbers for 2018 and 2019 are relatively low (through the duration of McCarthy's current contact, coincidentally), it does look like something of a discount. In other words, it was no ground breaking contract, just a modest bump over the prevailing Ryan benchmark, a screaming deal compared to those other 2 guys, and perhaps an even more screaming deal in the next couple of years with next newly crowned franchise QB second contracts.
