It's actually about winning. Long term.

I don't want to be a 2-3 years wonder. I want to make the playoffs 85% of the time, and have a chance at the big thing several times a decade.

I saw an other offer being 2 firsts, 2 seconds, Fitz and Ioannidis.
My issue is, as many said before, with how the cap works, we KNOW we won't be able to resign all of Allen, Payne, Young, Sweat, Terry etc... (Especially if we have a nearly 40M/yr QB) So we're gonna NEED some high draft picks to replace them. Because if we don't, regardless of how this 2-3 years ride goes... We're kinda back to the basement... and I don't want that...

Oh and btw we don't have 37M of available cap space, so who you cutting ?

Who wouldn't want to be a serious contender for the next decade? But the truth is a long term dynasty is rare. Teams that rise up for a couple of years and have a 2-3 year window to win the SB is what happens most of the time. Rodgers would give us that. I'm not going to waste much breath on this because I think the chances of him coming here are slim at best, but it sure would be a fun ride to go on and I'd be fine with whatever it took to get him here.
