lol they're stuck with him for at LEAST another 2 years. The dead cap for his trade is WAY too much, which is why everyone with a brain graded Love as one of the dumbest picks in NFL history.

I can't imagine another team will be willing to split the dead cap (or transition it) from Green Bay along with the massive salary Rodgers commands... It will SEVERELY diminish what he'd get in return in terms of draft capital.

"Hey, we want a 2021 1st and 2022 1st... and oh btw you can inherit this $35M contract in 2022 (or $21M now but a $50M dead cap) AND we want you to absorb either $25M dead cap this year or $15M (assuming 50/50) next year! WHO WANTS TO TRADE!?" *crickets*

Rodgers will be with the Packers for 2 more years where there's an out in 2 years, at which point he'll command very little in terms of trade capital given he'll be 38. Even then that STILL hits the Packers on dead cap for $17M or a split of $8.5 50/50 if a team is dumb enough for the trade.

Again, the pick might be the most BAFFLING ever. The Packers are LITERALLY stuck with the guy.. AND turns out, basically every team that needed a QB this year, GOT ONE. Eh, maybe the Browns will trade the farm for Rodgers after they probably fail... Green Bay is probably banking on that.

Oh, Let's see, how long will it take, perhaps as soon as another broken collar bone should do it.

YankeeRebel, I will have to strongly disagree with your quote of Peyton Manning being the Greatest Dome QB ever. I have to put Drew Brees in that spot.

I wonder if Nick Foles is flattered by the nickname given he's married and all?
his wife is the one that gave it to him!

Who has more rings, Rodgers or Foles?

OK tied. Who has a bigger pole?
