Aaron Rodgers is due to have a cap hit of $46.6m this season, which is 22.2% of the cap.

Tom Brady's highest cap hit (as a percentage of the cap): 13.6% (2006)
Drew Brees: 16.4% (2015)
Matt Ryan: 15.0% (2016) - Due 23.4% of the cap next season
Ben Roethlisberger: 15.3% (2016)
Aaron Rodgers: 14.9% (2019, 2021) - Due 22.2% next season
Payton Manning: 20.5% (2003)
Matthew Stafford: 15.8% (2019)
Philip Rivers: 14.9% (2015)

IMO, committing 23%+ of your cap every single year for a QB, no matter how important they are, is way too much. Teams have a hard enough time filling a roster with talent giving 15-20% to a QB.

EDIT: The Packers are already projected to be $30m over the cap for next season as it is.
