[Rapoport] With Bobby Wagner’s contract official, a look at the numbers: — Functionally, it’s a 2-year deal worth $17.5M base with a chance to make $23.5M with incentives. — He gets $6.5M in Year 1 — but $10M fully guaranteed, working with the #Rams while they work on Aaron Donald, etc.
I love nfl contracts lol.
95% of fans also have no idea how contracts work and the media doesn’t help by just putting out the skeleton figures first
It's really just total vs guaranteed
Not dramatically different then the initial report.
I for one hopes he hits every incentive and gets paid every dollar of that $50M.
Because if he does he's Luke Kuechly reincarnated.
quick reminder for those who need it, "years with no guaranteed salary" are not the same as "void years"
What is the difference?
So essentially $10M instantly in his bank account, and if he plays well, he gets a total of $23.5M over 2 years.
Wonder what the incentives are. That may be where the other money kicks in. And maybe they're easily achievable so Wagner bet on himself.
The last few years probably have a very high base salary and/or team option to cut him. Maybe void years as well.
because in the NFL contracts aren't guaranteed
[удалено]
Basically the team can cut him after 2 years and they won’t be on the hook for much/anything.
the other years are void years, they essentially say after year 2 we get to cut you or restructure, but use it to spread the signing bonus cap hits.
Samuel Lester Snead is the greatest person in Los Angeles rn
Hey LeBron
He WaNtEd 1 yeAr $11 MiL aNd Da RamS gAve hiM $65 MiL LmAOOooO
People should really know better at this point when looking at contracts at face value
Les Snead magic bruh
Wow. I thought the guarantees would max out at $20M, not be half of that…
They can’t keep getting away with this!!
What a steal. I hate Stephen Jones
Let’s be real. If you had your choice to play for the defending super bowl champs or the Cowboys. Who you picking?
Only 8.75 million a year for 2 years? Sign me the fuck up!
It’s a good deal for both sides and if Wagner is still good after those 2 years I see no reason not to bring him back
The chances he’s good after those 2 years are pretty low. Solid deal for the rams
LET'S GOOOOOOO
Ah yes void years, so hot right now
but there are no void years on this contract
