The notion that the Packers salary cap situation will be fixed quickly simply by trading Aaron Rodgers is false. Moreover, too many fans think executing the trade after June 1 so the Packers can split the dead money with $15.8M counting in 2023 and the other $24.5M counting in 2024 fixes the cap issues. It doesn't: it only allows the Packers to spend money that they can ill afford on free agents in 2023. From a strictly salary cap perspective, deferring the $24.5M to 2024 makes sense (assuming the salary cap continues to increase as expected). $24.5M is 10.
