Yes. I'd say we trade our 1st this year and the next two years for him. But, that's a pipedream because he wouldn't be able to fit under our cap.

They would want everything for ages for him.

If we had it I'd give it but we don't. We have no ages in our bank account.

I think Loomis and the front office know a little bit more than you.

Of course they do and that's why we couldn't do it. There are not enough contracts remaining to rework to get what we already have and need (a few vets) as a minimum to fill the roster without trying to fit a Rodgers' base plus any sort of prorated portion into the 2021 limit. We still have the $11 million post-June 1st hit on Brees' contract to make room for, as well.

We currently have $833,487 in available cap on the top 51 players. We are over $13 million OVER the cap on the 79 players currently on the roster.

I’m predicting nothing. But I don’t think the contract situations would prevent this from happening. Possibly getting Rodgers would involve trading one of these players and reduce a contract need. Maybe get Thomas off the books. I have no idea the contract impacts, so I’m spitballing. I’m just saying if the team needs/wants to retain 4 or 5 players long term, then Lommis inc can figure out how to add a 6th.
