It's an urban legend that glosses over how poorly A-Rog has played in the playoffs. Look around the league and tell me all the teams that have talents like Adams and Jones,….plus a bunch of other all pro's. Cincinati was so bad they were able to draft Burrow, Higgins and Chase….the Packers NEVER pick that high. LA Rams they had Odell Beckham for a cup of coffee. Tell me all the NFL teams that have a talent like Adams and Jones together, and then have more great weapons? KC? No. Then there's a step down to Alan Lazard and MVS, who wasn't great, but KC paid him $10million. And Aaron Jones, a top 5 RB and consistent performer. The poor, poor 4 time MVP had no weapons, except Davante Adams peak career, arguably the best WR in the league. Mond was a 3rd round draft pick, it wasn't like the Vikings traded up in the first round to draft someone to sit on the bench for several years instead of giving a 4 time MVP any weapons. Has Mond been giving an extension yet? Oh, wait … The Vikings drafted Kellen Mond to be Cousins’ replacement. In lieu of the option/no-option black-and-white decision, come up with a hybrid approach that gives the player more than he would get in year four, along with the ability to make everything he’d get in year five - if things pan out. It’s a sensible approach for any team with a largely unproven first-round pick entering the fourth year of his rookie deal. He’ll also have significant protection (more than $10 million) against the possibility of playing poorly in 2023, or of getting injured. If Love meets the various triggers, he’ll make what he would have made under the fifth-year option. Love faced the prospect of making $2.298 million for 2023 with no security beyond the current season. Green Bay faced the question of whether it would commit to $20.3 million fully guaranteed for 2024. It reportedly has $13.5 million fully guaranteed, and it’s worth “up to” $22.5 million - which clearly means he has to reach certain playing-time and/or team/individual achievements to get there. The team and the player have agreed to a one-year extension, via multiple reports. The Packers won’t be exercising the fifth-year option for quarterback Jordan Love, after all.
