[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 836168"] Patriots backups: Tannehill is costing Tennessee only $1.9 mil in 2019 cap on the last year of his Miami contract with no subsequent liability. [URL]https://overthecap.com/player/ryan-tannehill/717/[/URL] That $7 mil contract average does not reflect current realities, with Miami taking an $18.4 mil dead cap hit on that trade, absorbing prorated signing bonus against their cap. Tennessee gave up 4th. and 6th. round picks for the privelege of acquiring Tannehill plus a 7th. rounder. Mariota has missed one or more games to injury in each of his four seasons; Tennessee's cost adds up to a 4th. round pick and a little money for a one year insurance policy. As you say, for all intents and purposes, Bridgewater's is being paid $7.25 mil for one year with a $3.25 mil cap charge in 2019. The voidable years in the contract for 2020 and 2021 don't count for much as a salary cap management gambit. [URL]https://overthecap.com/player/teddy-bridgewater/2971/[/URL] Putting $7.25 mil in cash in Bridgewater's pocket was an inducement to keep him around rather that having him going to Miami, one rumored suitor who ended up going with Fitzpatrick @ $11 mil over two years to pair with Rosen.
