[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 925066, member: 10086"] There’s an offset. His value goes up tremendously under contract for several years because it allows the GBP to decide WHEN to trade him. It’s really not that difficult when your QB successor is paid a Rookie salary and the 26mil you do part with gets you 2-3 day 1 selections etc.. [SIZE=13px]But if that was a possible plan all along what was the point of extending Rodgers in 2018 with him having two years left on his contract at the point???[/SIZE] I’d just point out that the FO didn’t have the luxury of knowing how Rodgers would finish the ‘18-19 seasons like we know now. His overall declining performance included 2 consecutive seasons of really just ordinary type play (25-26 TD’s and 62.0 passing with declining yardage also) If you look back at Aarons portfolio in early 2020? he suddenly looked like a QB that very well could be in a slight decline. That coupled with what I truly believe was a college QB who had just slipped past his place on their draft board. All that said, I think GM’s are looking to be innovative and prove to themselves that they can make what appears a controversial move if they see enough value. I’m pretty sure that our scouting group thinks Jordan has better potential than what you and I currently think. Finally let me add I probably wouldn’t have went about it that way either, but it’s easier for us as layman to look back and make these evaluations later. The FO is having to do it in real time and all the while looking at their checkbook registry. Remember how much they had spent in 2019 Free Agency? That factored big time and we all pretty much wanted aggressive if I recall. Well.. This is what aggressive looks like [/QUOTE]
