Some of the cap related scares found in this thread are misleading. Both the Tyreek Hill and Davante Adams announced contracts are back end loaded. Neither will realize that last one or two years.
Terminating the final year of Tyreek's new contract results in an average annual payout of $22,583,750. The final terminated year should result in a dead cap write off of $5,100,000.
The Davante Adams contract looks to be of shorter effective duration. Terminating the final two years of that back loaded contract results in an average annual payout of $20,010,196. The last two terminated years will result in a required write off of $7,700,000 in dead cap expense.
The above two back end bloated contracts were for players in the latter stages of their career. An ascending player like DK should see a different contract structure.
One other thing. Those of us who have bothered to look already know that the Tyler Locket contract isn't actually tradable. Not that it makes sense to trade such a valued leader. So that trade speculation can be dismissed with a very high degree of confidence.
I'll also re-post this .....
* The cap percentage for the entire wide receiver corp is 9.85% of the 2021 base cap. (currently ranks 18th in league)
* The 2022 base cap is projected to increase by approximately $17,000,000 above the 2021 figure.
* The 2022 dead cap cost should be significantly less than the unprecedented $44,584,057 write off for 2021.
