That’s a ton of money for one player, but if there’s any player who deserves it, it’s probably Rodgers. You take him off the Packers and they’re going to be terrible.
The Packers were one of the best teams in the NFL last season. How would they have been without Rodgers under center?
I think we all know the answer and it’s not a good one.

Now, will the Packers pay Rodgers what he wants? That’s hard to tell at the moment. Giving one player $50 million a year is handcuffing your fate to one guy.
If Rodgers gets hurt, the team is cooked, but if he stays healthy and balls out, it’s 100% worth it.
