Correct me if I am wrong but if we traded for him doesn’t his bonus accelerate and the Eagles own that leaving us responsible for this –
2014 – $10,500,000 Base Salary, $250,000 Workout Bonus, $10,750,000 Cap Number
2015 – $9,750,000 Base Salary, $250,000 Workout Bonus, $10,000,000 Cap Number
2016 – $9,750,000 Base Salary, $250,000 Workout Bonus, $10,000,000 Cap Number
He is a good player not sure that I would pay him $10M a season for the next three years though, I think he would have to take a pay cut to be considered by the team.
To clarify, I was looking at it from Philly's perspective ("If Philly was going to trade him then..."), as to why/when they may want to attempt to trade him. Those numbers I wrote reflect the Eagles' obligation, not what the Pats or any other potential trade partner's would be.
Your numbers should be correct for any team trading for him.
From the Patriots' perspective, those numbers should also preclude any serious discussion about the Pats trading for Jackson.
