I'm not saying the Packers shouldn't do this. I am saying that the numbers coming out at "more than $50m per year" is unrealistic.
And as far as Brees goes, his dead money hit in 2021 was $11.15m and his dead money hot in 2022 will be $11.5m. Those aren't crazy high numbers (roughly 5-6% of the cap). I don't think they YOLO'ed all that much.
