Chuck Gets Extended
Chuckie Hacks —
... Aaron Rodgers gets extended through 2014. This is a great move - He's one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL. I know what Packer/TT haters (Matt) are thinking: "Extend the guy after 7 games?" Well, he's not a rookie. They've seen what he's all about for the last 3 years. Hmmm, I guess cap flexibility isn't a bad thing. Especially with Jennings in line for some big time cash pretty soon. Congrats, Chuck. NUMBERS UPDATE: Per ProFootballNews.com, the Rodgers contract is 6 years - $65 million with $20m guaranteed. By comparison, Tony Romo got 6 years, $67 mil with $30m ...

I expected a contract extension, but not until next spring. But it makes sense to do it now and allocate some it to the cap space still available in 2008. It might have been nice to review Aaron's performance after the entire season is done, but I haven't seen anything to suggest he's going to fall on his face in the 2nd half of 2008, so I guess there is no harm. One of the rumored reasons why GM Ted Thompson couldn't ...
