In the NFL's professional leagues, the average professional life of a player is very short, often only 3.5 years, which is the shortest among the four major leagues in North America -

For reference, the average career life expectancy in the NBA is 4.8 years, the NHL is 5.5 years, and the MLB is 5.6 years.

It's very rare to have a player like Brett Favre, Ray Lewis with a career of more than fifteen years. But rugby is very special, and there are huge differences in professional life in different positions, with running backs and strikers taking more impacts, and athletic lifespans are often very short; The wide receiver and kicker positions have significantly lived a lot longer.

Now, with the improvement of scientific training methods and league rules, the professional life of football players is slowly increasing, but on the whole, the age of 35 is still a crucial threshold for quarterbacks -

In 2011, Payton Manning suffered a season-ending injury at the age of 35, which is one of the most important reasons why the Indianapolis Colts immediately abandoned Big Manning in favor of Andrew Lacker, and almost no one believed that Manning, who was 36 years old when he returned from injury, would be able to reach his peak level again.

This year, Tony Romo is thirty-three years old, and there are only two years left before turning 35. While Dallas signed Romo to a six-year contract, the watershed moment after two years is also objective, with more challenges to his passing power, curling control, vision and more.

So, Jerry Jones began to prepare in advance, to prepare for two years from now, and even three or five years from now.

"But what if I'm going to be terrible two years later? Or, five years later, do I decide to stay in San Francisco? Although Lech only said a word, Lu Ke instantly understood, and further questions surfaced.

Lech shrugged slightly, "So, he can choose to give up at any time, what does he have to lose?" ”

Truly.

If Lu Ke's performance starts to decline after two years, or if he suffers an injury, Jerry can easily choose to give up; Or maybe Romo's performance continues to be so good that he doesn't need to replace the main quarterback at all, and Jerry can calmly continue to use Romo. And what is the cost of Jerry's loss?

Hardly.

In the process of Lu Ke's contract renewal this time, Jerry just said a few words, fanning the flames and misleading the direction of the wind, forcing the San Francisco 49ers to make a wrong judgment, and then everything fell into place, it was effortless at all, and it can be said that it was a push without cost.

The most important factor is Jerry's connections and influence. That's all.

But Lu Ke has become the biggest beneficiary. As Lehe said, this favor, even if Lu Ke doesn't want it, he must appreciate it.

"All Jerry needs is when you're thinking about a move, and the Dallas Cowboys are getting heavier, and that's enough." Lech added, "But the point is, even if you think about Dallas and nod your head or not, the initiative is still in Jerry's hands." ”

That's what a real long-term investment is. However, with a little effort, he won more chips for his future.

It can only be said that Jerry Jones, an old fox, was calculated with or without intention, even if Lech always remained vigilant, he was not able to see through the far-reaching meaning behind Jerry's move at the first time, and completed the layout quietly.

Brilliant indeed!

Lu Ke also couldn't help but chuckle, "I don't think it's better to tell Trent about this matter for the time being." "In the whole process, it was the San Francisco 49 who really suffered, half-pushing and half-making history.

Lech thinks differently, "I don't think San Francisco is a loss-making business. ”

"By signing you on a record-breaking contract extension, they have shown their sincerity and deepened their presence in the Asian American market, while also winning the support of the entire city of San Francisco. Their prestige is at an all-time high. What's more, if they have you, it's equivalent to having the chips to compete for the championship. This contract, they are also winners. Lech further explained.

If it is just an ordinary contract to complete the extension, although the San Francisco 49ers can keep Lu Ke, the follow-up influence will not be able to achieve the current effect.

Lu Ke nodded lightly in agreement, "In this way, this contract is all winners." ”

"yes. But the point is that the big guy who had nothing to do with it at all became the biggest winner of intangible wealth through his clever operation, which is the real cleverness. "Lech and Jerry are old friends, and they have known each other for most of their lives, but this time, he still has to take off his hat and salute-

Gift. This is an asset that is more important than the money number.

But no matter what, the dust has settled after all, and as for how the future will develop, it will only be time to wait for the answer.

In the next period of time, the league began to boil again, first in rookie training camp, then in free agency, with all kinds of transfer and signing news flying around, the Super Bowl seemed to be last weekend, and the busyness and noise of the 2013 season was already faintly revealed.

However, the weight of the news is far from comparable to Lu Ke's sky-high contract renewal, Zhuyu is in the front, and now all transfers and renewals do not seem to be at the same magnitude level, but the entire league knows that it is now brewing and waiting, and after the draft is over, the free market will usher in a new round of turbulence.

Because those teams that have not been able to find their favorite players in the draft can only start looking for big fish in the free market, and the same is true for contract extensions, and the team can only bow its head conditionally after procrastinating until the draft and still not being able to find a replacement player.

At that time, there will be a large number of blockbuster contracts.

Before the draft officially kicked off, the Green Bay Packers made a move. Regarding future plans, whether it is the draft conference or the free market, one thing, they have already decided on the idea, after a long and difficult negotiation process, now it is finally officially finalized, and they do not need to wait for the draft conference to end, and they immediately announced the answer in advance, which has also become the second shock wave that caused a sensation throughout the league!

Ian Rapoport was the first to tweet the latest news:

"Aaron Rogers has completed a contract extension with the Green Bay Packers, a $110 million contract with contract details yet to be confirmed, which will be revealed soon."

Rumble!

Boom!

The whole league is starting to boil, not long ago, Lu Ke just broke the record of Drew Briss, is now Rodgers going to refresh Lu Ke's contract number?

Even if this were the case, there was nothing wrong with that. As the youngest of the four elite quarterbacks, Rodgers' current contract is in the middle of the league, and both the team and fans know that he deserves to be rewarded with a top-tier contract.

And after the third-year Lu Ke set a record, Rodgers, who is about to enter the ninth year of the league, will undoubtedly get a bigger contract!

Then the official Green Bay Packers and Rapoport's Twitter announced the confirmation news one after another, and it really lived up to expectations and set off a second wave of frenzy this offseason!

In November 2008, Aaron Rogers renewed his contract with Green Bay Packers, signing a six-year, $65 million contract, a $20 million security deposit, and an average annual salary of $10.8 million.

In the 2013 season, Rodgers will enter a contract year, and the Green Bay Packers believe that Rodgers does not need to prove himself anymore, and completed the contract extension before the contract year, in order to stabilize Rodgers, but also to stabilize the fans, but also to stabilize the team.

In April 2013, Rogers renewed his contract with Green Bay Packers, signing a five-year, $110 million contract with a deposit of $55 million and an average annual salary of $22 million.

In terms of margins, Rogers temporarily lags behind Lu Ke and Briss; But in terms of annual salary, Rodgers broke the record just set by Lu Ke in one fell swoop and became the highest-paid player in the NFL, which is undoubtedly a long-awaited contract, once again proving Rodgers' super high status and absolute ability as one of the four elite quarterbacks.

The title of "the highest annual paid player in history", Lu Ke only held it in his arms for less than two months, and he didn't have time to warm it up, and then it was handed over to Rodgers, I have to say that this offseason is really too exciting.

Faced with such a situation, Lu Ke, who was training at UCLA in the offseason, was half a beat slow before tweeting in response, "Well deserved! It's an honor to be a part of history! I can't wait for my next visit to Green Bay – it's your turn to treat you now, right? Aite Aron Rogers. ”

Although the two players are rivals and are in the same league of Nations, the competition is becoming more and more tense; But Lu Ke and Rogers have a very friendly relationship in private - Lu Ke signed a contract, and Rogers sent blessings; Rogers signed the contract, Lu Ke congratulated, and there were still jokes between the words, which is really rare.

To this, Rogers also replied, "Thanks for the oysters and prawns in San Francisco last time, but I must emphasize that I am a carnivore, are you sure it doesn't matter?" I'm sure if I go to the buffet and I'll be able to eat up your appetite easily, and I'm already looking forward to the next one. Aitluke. ”

The two quarterbacks, who broke history one after another, both shouted at each other on Twitter, and the fans of Green Bay and San Francisco also exchanged friendly shouts, which was really touching.

While both quarterbacks have mentioned visits for next season, both sides seem to be talking about off-court matters, and in fact, the 2013 season opener has already been set -

San Francisco 49ers vs Green Bay Packers.

This also means...... The highest-paid showdown in history is about to begin.
