Not sure on the rules with signing multiple contracts in one season, but would it be possible to pay Ward the league minimum for 2022 with no signing bonus, then when Jimmy gets traded, we rework his deal, giving him whatever contract we originally agreed to? @49erscap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you coooooooooooooould to kind of game the system is you sign the original deal with a league minimum based this year, and a 2023 roster bonus that you then immediately convert to a signing bonus which would then function as the defacto signing bonus you offered. But he has to sign the contract that way (IE, with the amount as a roster bonus). I'm pretty sure that is totally valid. I also don't expect him to have a big cap hit this year. I'd say 6-8 million on his hit this year. 10M signing bonus 3M base fully guaranteed 2023 salary 9-10 million fully guararnteed something like that.

They do tomorrow. Tomorrow there's a hard cap. Right now we are over and we don't need to be under. We will need to be tomorrow at 4 est. They could just not sign the deals though, yes. But that does leave you exposed to someone jumping in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 Ultimately, they make other moves to get under...that wouldn't surprise me (though as I have mentioned...100% not a fan of restructuring AA), but they need to be close to a deal and just be pushing back against one another. You don't want to make bad long term moves just to keep him on and hope something happens down the line...you have to have a really good feeling that is going through. Even though we would be under the cap with some minor moves, we would also completely have our hands tied. No more free agents without further cuts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 2 years / 8M for Wallace Damn, that would have been nice. That's a solid pick up, especially at that bargain basement price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Steelers fans said they wanted another corner signed as well as Ahkello so they could move Sutton inside. Nice deal for the Steelers.

49erscap Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 As for Ward's deal, all I know is it's backloaded, and should be signed right after the new league year begins, should have details soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I like Ward but 8 mil for a starting caliber CB in this day and age is too good to pass up. Edited March 15, 2022 by 757-NINER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 Two 6ths and a 7th. I'm assuming the two third rounders are the coaching hire comp picks, one of which belongs to Miami. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
