Which would seem to mean that if "Rodgers has been greedy," that by extension if Joe Burrow does what you are speculating, he would be classified as greedy.
Another poster noted Rodgers has made $300 million over the course of his contract and was the 5th highest, 6th highest, 3rd highest, etc. and yet posters are speculating that Joe Burrow will be 1st highest and with a contract that dwarfs the contract of Rodgers. Well, if Rodgers can give back money to help the team, my hope, and my expectation, is that Joe Burrow will also make a team-friendly contract.
Rodgers will be out of the league in the next years, Burrow is only getting started. Burrow has yet to sign his first contract, in the other hand Rodgers already made a lot of money. Rodgers took a pay cut because he's probably satisfied with the amount of money he made and now he can foccus on getting another ring. Joe knows that he's played well enough to be the highest-paid QB, but this may change in the next 5-6 years. He's young and on his prime now, but he might not have another oppotunity to earn top money. Two very different situations imo.
