Were they talking pay cut? Or were they talking about a restructure? Usually they mean the latter where the money gets converted to a signing bonus. The player gets more guaranteed money today, and the team gets cap relief. I mean, if people were talking pay cut, that's silly, but if it was restructure, yes, Rodgers could have been open to that. And of course, because I am cynical, I don't believe for one second that Brady took a true pay cut. I am sure Kraft was getting him his money somehow. No, I don't have proof. Brady was probably getting all the money from the fifth blade they added to the Gillette razor.
