Here are some more details on Randy Moss's contract with the Patriots:
Base salaries:
2008: $1.9 million
2009: $6.4 million
2010: $6.4 million
Salary cap charges:
2008: $6 million
2009: $10.5 million
2010: $10.5 million
What did you expect the cap numbers to be on a $9M per deal? LOL
It means the deal isn't backloaded so they expect him to play for 3 years. The low salary isn't as low as they could have made it this year considering he gets/already got a check for $12M. So $13.9M of his guaranteed money will have been paid this year, and another $1.1M of his salary in the future is guaranteed. His $8M dead cap in 2009 makes it likely he sees year two or $20.4M. And his cap savings of $6.5M in salary given 2010 #1 replacement cost pretty much means he sees year three unless he falls off a production cliff (like a Harrison injury season) in year 2.
So $13.9M of his guaranteed money will have been paid this year, and another $1.1M of his salary in the future is guaranteed.
