Packers agreed to terms with OLB Clay Matthews on a five-year, $66 million contract extension through 2018. The deal will likely include more than the $40 million guaranteed DeMarcus Ware brought home in 2009. Matthews, who has 43 sacks through his first 58 NFL games, was going into the final year of his rookie contract. The deal could include a fairly sizable 2013 cap hit, as the Pack have worked diligently to keep space open this season. Next on the docket for Green Bay is Aaron Rodgers, who should sign the most lucrative contract in league history.


Packers might not be able to breathe under the cap after signing Rodgers. Jeez.

13 million per year for Matthews
25 mill per year expected for Rodgers

38 million a year for two players. Wow

They better CONSISTENTLY hit on young cheap talent in the draft or they are going to be a perennial 9-7, 10-6 team at very best. That's a lot of money in 2 guys.

Rodgers gets them to the playoffs for sure but im not sure how much he realizes they will have to rely on him to get there if the cap is that clogged.
