I think that is this authors point.
We all would not trade AR for anything because he does make us better; however, this is part of the reason (not the whole reason) that our defense is mediocre. We cannot get or keep all premiere talent on that side of the ball. ...
the facts do not bear this out at all. here is how the packers money is spent: defense: $67,488,304 (11th highest in the nfl). offense: $58,297,407 (20th highest in the nfl).
we spend a disproportionately high percentage of our salary cap on defensive players. aaron rodgers' salary is not keeping us from getting or keeping defensive talent. ted thompson is keeping us from getting or keeping defensive talent.
