Packers Morning Buzz: Resounding impact of Aaron Rodgers' new deal

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

The Packers wrap up their preseason training-camp schedule with their exhibition finale Thursday night at Kansas City.

Wednesday was a busy news day, and of course we'll start with Tom Silverstein's take on Aaron Rodgers' contract extension and what it means for the Packers' salary cap.

Tom writes:

From a salary-cap standpoint, the structure of the deal will matter greatly. The Packers were $11 million under the cap prior to the Rodgers deal.

The $57.5 million signing bonus can be prorated over five of the six remaining years, which means $11.5 million will be part of every year of the deal.

Rodgers had a base salary of $19.8 million this year and $20 million next year. However, based on reports that Rodgers would make $67.5 million by the end of the year, it’s likely his base salary this year was cut to $10 million.

In that scenario, the Packers would only be adding $1.5 million of cap charges ($11.5 million of prorated bonus minus $10 million of salary reduction). That would leave them $9.5 million under the cap.
