"If the Packers cut Aaron Rodgers he will count towards $99M of the cap in 2023. If they chose to split that it would be $31M in 2023 and then $68.2M in 2024. Cutting Rodgers would doom Green Bay for drat near a decade and destroy the organization.

It will not happen."

Woo

Why would this drat the organization for a decade?

It would suck for the two years but then it would be back to a regular rebuild.

I would think it would lead to the Packers jettisoning or not resigning young talent, which would put them in a terrible hole where once they get his contract off the books they have to overpay for free agents to come to a lovely team, and also they would have to hit on their draft picks at an unbelievable rate.

This was what I was thinking too. But trading a bunch of those players for picks is possible. And, if the situation is that Rodgers is unplayably bad, I don't think there's really a de facto opportunity cost to cutting him and losing the next couple years... because the team would be losing the next couple years anyway.

They would have to cut / not resign players to stay under.

With any plausible amount of FO competency, the team would not be ~damned for a decade~ due to cutting a hypothetically awful Rodgers imo
