Former Packers executive and current MMQB/The Athletic contributor Andrew Brandt discusses the real-time reaction to the news of Aaron Rodgers' contract extension and what it means for future mega-deals in the NFL.
Rodgers signed a four-year extension worth up to $180 million with over $100 million guaranteed.
In the immediate aftermath of the breaking news of the contract signing, Brandt takes a look at how the contract not only affects Rodgers, but the Packers' cap structure and how future mega-deals for franchise quarterbacks might be affected.
Brandt also explains how the Packers might navigate the big contract in terms of personnel moves, with projected cap increases negating the cap hold's negative effects later on in the extension, to Mike Heller and Jon Arias.
