With all the smoke around the future of the Green Bay Packers’ franchise player, it’s hard not to yell “Fire!” Resist the urge.
First reporting suggested that Aaron Rodgers wanted his pay tied to the salary cap rather than an annual dollar figure, likely a trial balloon from the Rodgers camp that feels about as likely as Terrell Owens successfully making a comeback in the NFL.
Even setting aside the fact it completely robs the Packers of any ability to effectively plan for its financial future, at the numbers Rodgers will likely want there’s no incentive for Green Bay to give in to such demands.
