I am still NOT ALL IN on AJB.

I am wary of the cap charge......the man is almost 30.....

He is 28. His cap charge this year would be something like $7 million.

His cap charge, for the Pats, in 2026 would be $7m
His cap charge is 2027 for the Pats, would be $17.8m
2028-$17.8m
2029-$23.6m
2030-$53m
In 2028, 29 and 30, Browns salary is not guaranteed
it's a very favorable deal for the Pats if they make the deal, only if Brown honors his contract, and doesn't demand a re-do

Where are you getting the 7 million cap charge ?

I read it somewhere. He is due like a $27 million option bonus that the Pats would pay and his base salary is only $1.3 million.

His current cap hit is $23 million and that includes all the bonus money already paid to him by the Eagles and if he was traded before June 1st, that cap hit would have gone up $20 million. So even if I am wrong, his cap hit this year for the Pats would be significantly less than $23 million.

But here is a link to his contract.

I was looking at over the cap pre trade. Always confusing to figure out what the new charge would be after a team trades for said player

He'll still be 30-1/2 when the 2027 season is over.
