[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 950455"] Once the Packers move on from Rodgers they will immediately stop being a legit Super Bowl contender. That means it doesn't make any sense to hold on to expensive veterans considering the cap situation the team is in. At that point it would be smart to cut the losses to get out of troubles with the cap as soon as possible and use the draft picks acquired via trade or received as compensatory ones to add young talent. It's completely unrealistic to expect there won't be a drop-off in performance over a few years once Rodgers isn't around anymore though. You're wrong, Dillon has been a pleasant surprise for me. I don't consider a running back to be a core player to build around for several years though. I'm not advocating for the Packers to let young, blue chip players walk away by any means. If they won't be able to compete for a Super Bowl it doesn't make any sense to retain veteran players that won't be around by the time the rebuild is done just to win some more games while eating up a ton of precious cap space. As mentioned in another thread, there's no way the Packers should think about paying Rodgers $50 million a year. The Packers most likely won't have any cap space to participate in free agency this offseason no matter what. I highly doubt either the Packers or any other team are ready to pay $50 million per season for a quarterback who will turn 39 years old during next season. I honestly don't believe everyone is aware of that. [/QUOTE]
