Denver seems to be the most likely candidate. Signing bonus cap hit doesn't transfer over. So Rodgers would be around a 26M cap hit on Denver.
Not only that, but if they wanted to, Denver could sign Rodgers to a 3 year extension, turn that 26 million into signing bonus, and only have a 9 million dollar cap hit for Rodgers in 2022. Less than that if they add a voidable 4th year.

*** The Cap Hit for Rodgers ( unless he signs an extension) is $46,664,156 for 2022 - If the Packers cut him before June 1 . Packers have a $26,847,138 in Dead money and a Cap savings of $19,817,018 ....>>> in 2023 still have a prorated bonus due Rodgers and that would be a $7,673,570 Dead Money hit to team.
If you add the Dead Money and Cap Savings together it is $ 46,664,156 .
If traded the teams would have to agree to the player contract - but the total contract could follow.
** But with Tom Brady and retirement saves Tampa Bay . His contract if he played had a $20,270,588 cap hit ---- if Tampa Bay had cut before June 1 Brady would have had a Dead Money hit of $32,000,000 and Cap savings of minus $11,729,412 ---- Dead Money for 2023 is $23,000,000 and cap savings $0 ..... (** if I remember) 2024 is $16,000,000 cap hit and 2025 would be a cap hit of $8,000,000 ----- ^^^ football version of the Bobby Bonilla NY Met contract is baseball.
I understand the cap ( suppose to be hard where in Baseball you have the luxury tax ) -- I don't understand all the deferred language etc.
Yes Bobby B still has a few years to count against the Mets.
