I dont really understand the capology around NFL contracts.
I understand that when a team gives a player a signing bonus, its in ther interest to spread the cap hit out over more years, frequently beyond what is realistic.
But why do salaries go up so much in the later years, again beyond what is realistic?
Amandola is an example
The following are the contract figures for Danny Amendola, per a source.
It's a five-year pact with a total value of $27.7 million.
Signing bonus
$6 million
Base salaries
2013 -- $2 million (fully guaranteed)
2014 -- $3 million ($2 million guaranteed)
2015 -- $4 million
2016 -- $5 million
2017 -- $6 million
There are roster bonuses of $343,750 each year of the deal.
Salary cap charges
2013 -- $3,5 million
2014 -- $4.5 million
2015 -- $5.5 million
2016 -- $6.5 million
2017 -- $7.5 million
Thanks
