The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... The Packers did not alter Rodgers' contract this past Friday, a source told ESPN, and they paid his $6.8 million roster bonus as is rather than converting it into a signing bonus, which would have freed up more than $4.5 million in salary-cap space for this season. There had been questions about whether the Packers had paid the roster bonus or agreed to push it back as part of a restructure or extension negotiations. "It vested Friday like it was scheduled to," the source told ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky.

Diehards Line: Worth noting, the Packers would have pushed that bonus money to future caps, therefore increasing what Rodgers would count as on their 2022 and 2023 years. It's a sign that perhaps the Packers don't want to count any more dead money than they already would have to if they moved on from their three-time MVP quarterback after this season. When asked by Demovsky whether a restructure or extension was still in the works, the source, who is familiar with the Packers' plans, said "possibly."
