Quantum - I believe you are double-dipping on the SB cap hits for 2020 and 2021. Why do I say this? Because the original report was that Brady's SALARY was going to be $23M in 2019, $30M in 2020, and $32M in 2021. We know now that the $23M is not SALARY, but actual CASH that Brady will get. And we both know that's a huge difference. We also know that Brady's cap hit this year dropped by $5.5M, as you pointed out and that the $6.75M is the signing bonus pro-ration.
I contend that the $30M and $32M numbers are Brady's CAP hit for those 2 years, not his salary. I contend that Brady's cash (salary and bonuses) will be $23.75 and $25.75 respectively. I believe this based on the erroneous reporting that the $23M was Brady's new "salary"..
