He got a $60M signing bonus rather than the $40M figure I used so the prorated signing bonus is $12M a year, not $8M.
2022: $1.5M salary + $12M prorated signing bonus = $13.5M cap hit
2023: $1.5M salary + $6.5M option + $12M prorated signing bonus = $20M cap hit
2024: $31M salary + $6.5M option + $12M prorated signing bonus = $49.5M cap hit
2025: $27M salary + $6.5M option + $5M roster bonus + $12M prorated signing bonus = $50.5M cap hit
2026: $26M salary + $6.5M option + $5M roster bonus + $12M prorated signing bonus = $49.5M cap hit
Stafford's deal drops his cap hit in 2022 from $23M to $13.5M - a savings of $9.5M.
