He has 2 more years left on his current deal (which is below market for the position) and when this extension does increase his cap hit up into the 30 mill range I think its' fair to assume the cap will rise and the % of the cap is not going to be too out of line.
I'm biased as a Packer fan but i've read a lot that most seem to believe Rodgers actually took a lesser deal then people thought. He basically took the Matt Ryan deal with a small increase despite being the far superior QB. I don't think this has a big a ramification on the Packers chances to win as some are putting out there as the deal is not quite as punitive or big as it sounds. Heck there is a good chance Kirk Cousins earns as much or more than Rodgers over the next 4 years.
