How much do you think he will get?

This.
Rodgers got 134M/33.5 APY with 98M guaranteed.
So my guess is Russell will be the first over the 100M guaranteed/35M APY. Not sure about his demand for it to be done before the 15th, seems like weird timing.
But hopefully that means they're close, or else his agent wouldn't have put such a close date on their statement Monday.

And the money can come out in different ways salary, bonus etc that manipulates what that cap number for the year is.

Cap number & APY are two different things.

You're citing that Wilson will take up 17% of the salary cap, which is incorrect, or at the very least, extremely unlikely.
Look at any mega deal signed in the NFL you want structure wise.
I would recommend looking at Rodgers personally, because it will be in that ballpark, and can give a sort of baseline.
Big cap numbers at the beginning of the contract do not normally happen. because they come with a big signing bonus that is prorated over the course of the contract (up to 5 years). And are then balanced out with a low base salary early on leading to much lower cap numbers than their APY. Then it balloons up to APY levels in year 3, and year 4 & 5 it goes over the APY. Averaging out. The "A" in APY.
BUT by then the cap has gone up significantly.
I notice how you like to say BUT the cap will be higher later.Fade":1tl3bmz6 said:chris98251":1tl3bmz6 said:How is it incorrect when we don't know what it is yet?

If you think that won’t weigh in you’re not seeing the big picture. Winning games is only one facet of what he will bring to whomever gives him the big money.
