So they turned an old player into 3 high draft picks and a 6th - And drafted his replacement years before to be ready for it. Oddly enough the same team that drafted Rodgers a few years earlier to prepare for Favre leaving.
Guess what we do with old players? Extend them multiple times, they get hurt and/or ineffective and we eat dead money. Guess when we drafted Brees’ replacement. We didnt.
