[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 764376"] Want the cap back loaded? Let's start with Stafford, the guy with the largest guarantee out there at $60.5 millon which escalates to $92 million on the third day of the league year which is about 10 days from now. It included a $40 million signing bonus with a total value of $135 million, or $27 million per year over 5 years. Lets try this: $75 million signing bonus, additional $25 million guaranteed, total value $160 million or $32 million per year over 5 years. 2018 signing bonus proration: $15 million salary: $o.01 cap hit: $15 million 2019 signing bonus proration: $15 million salary: $0.01 cap hit $15 million [Rodgers gets $75 mil cash money for playing 2018/2019; the Packers save about $6 million in cap in each of those years over Rodgers current deal, and Gutekunst uses the savings to sign Wilkerson to a 2 year deal, which is both a ;) and a "God forbid".] 202o signing bonus proration: $15 million salary: $25 million (the balance of the guarantee) cap hit: $40 million 2021 signing bonus proration $15 million salary: $30 million cap hit: $45 million [Although the guarantees were exhausted after 2020, the dead cap going into 2021 is $30 million from the remaining signing bonus proration, or a cap savings of $15 million if released. Large signing bonuses create the "silent guarantee" of dead cap. Since you won't be able to buy much of a QB with that $15 million savings, even with some noticeable decline in performance, the dead cap all but guarantees retention simply because you won't be able to buy much more than a mediocre vet for $15 million cap.] 2022 signing bonus proration $15 million salary: $30 million cap hit: $45 million [Going into 2022, the dead cap drops to $15 million, the cap savings rises to $3o million. If performance has declined, now there's a choice to be made. Did Gutekunst draft a QB in the first round in 2020? :eek:] There's another way to go. You acknowledge this is not a championship roster. You stop overpaying underperforming and aging vets. You clear off their cap instead of throwing good cap after bad. You rebuild through the draft. When you acknowledge you are rebuilding, you are less inclined to reach in the draft to fill the immediate needs. You front load more cap in Rodgers contact than what is seen above so that by the time you get to legitimate contending status in 2019-2020, you have more cap to work with.
