If Rodgers leaves, the Packers would get hit with a $40.3 million "dead" charge in 2023 - nearly $9 million more than he would count if he were on the roster. He would count $15.8 million in 2023 and $32.5 million in 2024, cap-friendly for a player of his stature. His deal includes a fully guaranteed $59.5 million this season, with $58.3 million coming in the form of an option bonus, payable before the start of the regular season.īecause his bonus money is prorated, Rodgers wouldn't hamper the Jets' cap situation. Technically, the contract, signed last March, runs through 2026, but 20 are considered "dummy" years for cap purposes. But if he wants to play and he and the Packers agree it's time for him to go somewhere else, the Jets appear to be a realistic option.Ī four-time MVP, Rodgers is under contract through 2024 for $108.8 million. Utah single-season record-holder for total punts (80 in 2014) and punt yards (3,736 in 2014) 4-for-4 on fake punt plays for first downs shared the starting. It's still possible he decides to retire or stay in Green Bay. Rodgers, 39, has not made any announcements about what he intends to do this coming season. The Jets and Packers remain engaged in conversations about possible trade compensation, sources said - discussions that had started before the Jets' meeting with Rodgers. Johnson left the meeting excited and satisfied about the potential match, sources told Russini.
