Motown Bombers Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 4 minutes ago, 4hzglory said: Here would be a sample deal to show what MB is saying. Goff currently has a cap hit of $32.3 mil for 2024 with 22.3 in salary, 5 mil roster bonus and 5 mil prorated signing bonus. A proposed 4 year $200 mil extension with $90 mil signing bonus and $125 mil guaranteed new money could look like something like this. If they add a void year, the signing bonus would get spread over 6 years - current 2024, 4 year extension, plus the 1 void year. So the signing bonus allocation would be $15 mil per year. 2024: convert $15 mil of his $27.3 mil salary/roster bonus to new signing bonus. Cap hit would be $12.3 mil salary, $5 mil from previous signing bonus + $15 mil new signing bonus allocation for total cap hit of $32.3 mil - identical to current. 2025: Fully guaranteed salary of $15 mil + $15 mil signing bonus allocation for cap hit of $30 mil 2026: Fully guaranteed salary of $20 mil + $15 mil signing bonus allocation for cap hit of $35 mil 2027: Salary of $35 mil ($15 mil fully guaranteed - gets to the $125mil guaranteed new money) + $15 mil signing bonus allocation for cap hit of $50 mil 2028: Salary of $40 mil + signing bonus allocation for cap hit of $55 mil 2029 void year: signing bonus allocation of $15 mil for cap hit of $15 mil Obviously they would have roster bonus'/other ways of adjusting the hits if they wanted more cap space in certain years, but this would also allow them to get out of the deal after 2026 if they had to for a dead money hit of $60 million which is $10 million more than what his 2027 cap number would be if they kept him, or they could spread it over 2 years and free up $20 million in 2027, $25 mil in 2028, and $15 mil in 2029. If they cut him after 2027, they would have a dead money hit of $30 mil which if they didn't spread it over 2 years, would save them $25 mil on the cap in 2028 and $15 mil in 2029. This is just a lot to say/show that a 4 yr $200 mil extension can simply be structured to not cripple the cap. The team would have many other roster bonuses/etc to further manipulate the cap numbers besides this. This would be perfect. By the time his cap hit exceeds what it is now in 2027, the cap would have likely increased 3 times by then and other QBs are creeping into the $60 million per range.

Motown Bombers Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Things change so quickly in the NFL. In 2021 Goff's contract was considered so bad that the Rams had to attach a 1st round pick to make it go away. By the end of 2022, it was considered good value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygoat Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The assumption that many make about Goff is that he's only good because of his line and the weapons around him. Outside of a couple of guys, though, every QB is at the mercy of his line. As for his weapons, it's always just assumed that they make Goff better, and never the other way around. Gonna be interesting to see how well Josh Reynolds does in Denver this upcoming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
