Miguel said:Last year Mankins at 32 had a 1st year cap hit of $1,030,000. Mankins had a $230,000 salary and a $350,000 roster bonus. Instead trying to make a guess at both figures, I decided to take a stab at one.
pats1 said:But is there any reason that Jackson would get a higher salary than Maroney (anything to do with the contract length limits?)
I doubt the rookie cap went up by 20%. I don't think it is a fixed percentage of the cap, and I think both the NFL and the NFLPA are trying to lower rookie salaries, so it is likely they rookie cap went up very little.Urgent said:Last year's #21, Matt Jones, had a contract with a $1.260 cap hit, by my recollection.
You're projecting Maroney at $1.3mm. But if the rookie cap goes up by that same 20%, Maroney would be around $1.5mm.

Miguel said:It went up by 5%.
Urgent said:Wow. That's quite a change in approach. That will create a much bigger difference between most rookie compensation deals - other than the top eight or ten - and most veterans.
Just so I understand, Miguel, did the rookie minimum salaries go up by 5% (which is perfectly understandable)
or did the entire allocated rookie caps go up by 5% - curtailing bonuses?
Thanks.

Pats726 said:Just curous about the Maroney projection..no signing bonus?? Just curious how Matt Jones's deal was..similar??? Do you have any idea who the agents are that these 9 have?? THAT may be most interesting...
