craig Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 7 minutes ago, Sandy said: In savings? That looks like it could be his base salary at least but the 30m bonus is going to be spread either 4-5 years I believe the 5th year option would have been $13.3. Spotrac shows this year's cap at $7.1. So clears ~$6M for discretionary spending. Spotrac understands this to literally be an "extension"; in effect he's now under contract for 5 years, with the $30 bonus is spread over 5 years, $6-per. Thus the $1.1 base + $6 pro-rated bonus = $7.1 for this year. (**IF** Spotrac has it right.). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't market resetting, with his $13m due this season, it is in essence a 5 year $100m approx contract, similar range as Lattimore, Humphrey etc... Now let's go shopping!!!! Honestly? I'd rather do a deal with Amos right now and lock down the safety position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine there's 2 incentive laden deals to vets out there before we report to camp. I'd love to add JPP as our 3rd rusher. Torn whether I'd prefer one more DB or WR. Whats the saftey market looking like right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also like to lock Lazard down for another 2 years beyond this year. He then becomes a FA again when he has just turned 29 and can cash in again if he lights it up. Have a feeling though he wants to bet on himself play out this year and look for MVS money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatKing Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Love it. With all the pieces we have locked up long term there is no reason we shouldn't be a top 5 defense for atleast the next 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need to see the breakdown but i guess it depends on the "extension" part of it, meaning is he under contract for the next 4 years or 5? Spotrac already has it listed as a true extension, putting him under contract for the next 5 seasons, but that could be wrong since there aren't any details yet on a per-year basis.

vegas492 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Okay Aaron. Run the offense. Hand the ball off. Throw to the schemed guy. Score 20 points a game and let the defense do the heavy lifting. Work out your shoulders hard because hoisting the trophy isn't easy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run the ball in the regular season 40 times a game, and save his MVP play for the playoffs! It's simply genius really 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should hand it off 30 times when it's 10 degrees in Lambeau in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a true extension. Spread the signing bonus over 5 years instead of 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to convert that entire 13.3 into signing bonus then correct? The 5th year is all base salary I believe. Certainly possible.
