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.

If they trade Rodgers, the new team is going to be taking on that contract. Green Bay has all of the leverage against any possible suitors. If it's Denver, their cap hit will be around 26M. All GB will be responsible for is signing bonus money and other little stuff adding up to an under 20M dead cap.
