The details are out! Not a bad deal at all I'd say.

Good stuff as earlier I wrote up a more gradual Cap hit formula. Like
$8-10mil year 2027, $14-18mil year 2028 and then closed to his AAV in 2029 with a likely restructure long before 2030. It’s still a contract out after year 2 of the extension of as Rodgers would label it a 1-2-1-1
when his guar was mostly expended. This one is a little heavier at $24mil in 2028 which is surprising. They decided to go with the spike in 2027, which I thought would be 2028.

The spike that year though is massively tied to his health given $13M of it is that roster bonus. If he doesn't prove to be healthy we walk from him prior to that hitting and save that $13M

Yeah that makes sense @tynimiller. That higher Cap jump in strategy 100% puts added pressure on Watson to stay healthy and on his game. Obviously he gas plenty of time to showcase that with 2026-2027 locked. I suppose call it a “hard contract out” in 2028 if things look dicey etc.

Yeah but all he has to do is essentially be who has been while out there and do it at a I'd say 14 or more game clip next two seasons and that bonus is easily deserved to market. Love how both sides did that deal.
