Suh 2 years 24 million all guaranteed ...
Signing bonus for Donald's extension huge ... but the hit is spread over the entire contract ... his salary does not go up this year or goes up only moderately and we only have to pay pro-rated signing bonus this year and then we start paying the 25 per year after.
Am I just making things up?
You were fine till the last point. Rams generally don;'t put big hits in final years. They tend to frontload instead. But they don;t do it the usual way. They put the BIG frontloaded hit in year two, not year one. That;s because there's more cap space "next year" than the year the contract gets signed. So they would try to keep those final years from getting as high as 25, by placing a bigger hit in 2019.
