What’s a dirty secret here? His contracts have always been public like every other player. It’s always been known he takes less to help pay for more talent around him.

Well, the talking heads spend so much time sucking his talent dick, they often don’t take a moment to acknowledge that his willingness to play for less means his teams have talent to surround him with.

Compare that to the Saints, who had to unload the bank year after year for Brees, then hope a draft class hits big (which it did in 2017).

Looks like Brady took most of his money in signing bonuses, while Peyton made his in salary. So is that how to keep it team friendly and still get paid?

Peyton and Eli Manning Couldn't Believe Injured Aaron Rodgers Needed to  Leave Game on Cart - Sports Illustrated

Earlier than I expected, but I guess we can skip right ahead to the "aaron contemplates his future while licking ayahuasca from a shaman's asshole in a secluded yurt" portion of the annual Rodgers press cycle. I'm sure it will be riveting as always.

Aaron Rodgers injury: Packers lose first-round pick from trade as Jets QB will miss season with torn Achilles

By Bryan DeArdo       2 mins ago

The Jets have lost Aaron Rodgers for the season, and the quarterback's former team will feel the impact as well. 

Green Bay Packers will also take a big hit after Rodgers suffered a serious injury during the Jets' season-opening win over the Bills. Rodgers will miss the rest of the season with a torn Achilles, meaning the Jets will now send the Packers a 2024 second-round pick instead of a first-round pick, since Rodgers will fail to play in 65% of the Jets' offensive snaps this season, as part of the stipulation in April's trade. New York would have sent the Packers a 2024 first-rounder if Rodgers played in more than 65% of the snaps

Lulz, they could have set the bar at .0065% of the Jets offensive snaps this season and they still wouldn't have to part with a 1st round pick.

That type of injury can take more than a year before a player can return, and can be career enders themselves. He’s already old, so I think that’s it for him. I don’t have any particular love or hate for Rodgers, but that’s a shitty way to end a career, especially after all the preseason hype.

Have Joe Rogan rub one out.  I mean rub it out.  I mean, rub on it.  Dammit.  I had something for this.  Can you pour sunshine and lysol on a torn achilles?  What about bleach?  Asking for a friend.

Few injuries are more grueling to rehab than an Achilles. 24 would be doubtful. He’s likely done. He fell into that tackle trying to do a move he used to pull off a few times a game that his 40 year old ass can’t.

Look it’s all good. We know what will happen next…it’s gotta be that way. I looked at available options (that were listed everywhere last night) and I feel like this could work even with that OLine the Jets have. Yes, Boston would implode. I don’t care bc I live in Texas.

He was honored during the Pats game. Dude looks like he weighs 145 lbs now.

 

Getting lighter and more hair, the typical male aging process.

Fuck that guy. Fuck that guy on many levels. He's lucky it wasn't a knee. Fuck that guy.

Maybe I'm wrong, but from a rehab standpoint, I'd rather tear up my knee than tear my Achilles.

It would be so fucking funny though if he was like Ok I will be a Jet. I mean why can’t retired QBs that still have gas left in the tank be like hired mercenaries? Just taking their talents to a team like the Jets? It won’t happen but it would make Boston go batshit.

I know Brady kinda sucks now, but I would really enjoy this storyline and hope he could get them into the playoffs for fun. He doesn't need anything else to cement his legacy as the GOAT though.

Anyone have the picture of Brady's face through the years? I remember a tweet from a plastic surgeon that pointed out exactly all the work he had in the last 2 decades.

It's an old comedy bit. So old I forgot who did it. "Well Bob, his neck is bent and his face is on the wrong side of his head, but at least it's not a knee."

At one time wasn't an Achilles tear a career ender? My wife blew hers out years ago and the surgery and rehab were a beast. It really effected her jump cuts and catching swing passes out of the back field.

Most definitely. The surgery and rehab is a lot just for a person trying to be able to walk normally and carry things again. Can't imagine the level of work and trust an athlete would have to have.
