Turner does provide versatility but wow that seems like another overpay...Welcome to the new NFL 

Unfortunately, quality OL don't hit FA very often.  And the halfway competent ones get overpaid.

Broncos definitely wanted him back but $11M on the 1st year ???  Good for you Mr Turner !!

Some of that is a signing bonus.  Figure an $8M signing bonus, which gets prorated over the 4 years.  So you're probably looking at a Y1 cap hit of $5M.

That's his entire signing bonus + base salary. So let's say he got 8m bonus, that makes his year 1 cap hit 5m because you can prorate the bonuses.

These beat writers just confuse people with the numbers they posted because they don't really explain with any context.
