stevegrab Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Wow that is huge deal and very front loaded with $71M of the total paid out in signing bonus (42) and 2023 salary (29). That leaves only about $5.5M over the last 3 years of that deal. Salary cap is spread so he's a big salary cap number (10.5M per year so 21M still with 2 years left) but a low salary (2-3M at most). Quite a different deal from what Minkah Fitzpatrick recently got, as far as structure but close in average annual salary. Fitz only has $17.5M signing bonus and first year salary of $14.5 (then 14.5, 15.5, 17.5). The contrast in the two is interesting, don't often see these contracts front loaded. (Or I just haven't noticed them.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boltnlava Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 He probably sprained his wrist signing. He CANNOT stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I wouldn't say injury prone, but he's getting there. He plays pretty much everywhere and violently. Haven't seen any rankings for D/ST this year, but the Chargers are a good middle tier selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 With their edge rushers, i would put them a little bit higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
