Here's how it breaks down: (from the article Rambill posted [
ramsrule.com] )
So ... 6 years, $118.7M, $25M signing bonus. (Note: signing bonus can only be spread out for a max of 5 years).
2020 salary $1.2M (plus $5M pro-rated signing bonus) = cap hit of $6.2M
2021 salary $17.5M (plus $5M pro-rated signing bonus) = cap hit of $22.5M
2022 salary $15M (plus $5M pro-rated signing bonus) = cap hit of $20M
2023 salary $17M (plus $5M pro-rated signing bonus) = cap hit of $22M
2024 salary $14.5M + $4M roster bonus (plus $5M pro-rated signing bonus) = cap hit of $23.5M
2025 salary $15.5M + $4M roster bonus = cap hit of $19.5M
Note: I thought these numbers should add up to $118.7 (to account for $13.7M still owed this year plus $105M for the extension) but using the data from the article it comes up $5M short. Maybe there are incentives?
