I am going on record that an extension before the end of the 2018 season is a mistake. At that point your looking at a 36 yr old QB. Do you try to squeeze out 2-3 yrs or do you move him and regroup ? Can't side step the end game forever.
Rodgers has three years remaining on his contract, which runs through the end of 2019. He had two years left on his contract when he last signed his $110 million extension in 2013.
The Packers are financially prepared for a major extension. They have roughly $24 million in cap space after signing four free agents from other teams, the most Thompson has signed in one spring since his second offseason. They figure to roll a big chunk of that money — perhaps as much as $10 million — into 2018, which could be an optimal time to extend Rodgers.
