Well it's a two year deal so unless it was fully guaranteed of course they can get out of it. I'm just wondering what that really means though. They can get out with 10 mil in dead money? They can get out with 0 in dead money? They can get out with 14 mil dead money?
I would assume it depends on how the contract is structured. If it's front-loaded then the Eagles will be paying him much more this year. If it's balanced, they will have 10 mill in dead money if they release him after a year.
It's where a career 81 QB rating gets you.
Yeah, he's lucky as hell to get what he did.
I guess it would be 14 unless it was structured weird. But I'm not sure they'd even want to get out after a year. Sanchez is in the last year of his deal so even if Bradford tanks this season they could draft a QB in 2017 and use bradford's final year to bridge to the new guy. And the new guy would be on a rookie deal so relatively cheap.
Well and they can't fully guarantee the first year. Although they could guarantee most of it. So if 28 mil of the deal if guaranteed a lot depends on that first year cap figure.
Wouldn't that be 11 million in dead money?
18 mill in 2016 leaves 4 mill in full guarantees.
But it normally doesn't matter when the guarantees are paid, they are spread evenly across the contract. Otherwise about 7 mil is unaccounted for under the cap.
26 is fully guaranteed according to that. 22 is just what he gets today.
This is correct. And it's 26 in guarantees.
You can front-load the guaranteed money. If they guarantee the full 18 mill in 2016 they only are in the dead at 8. I read the total guarantee wrong.
If I was an Eagles fan, I'd rather have them try to pluck some jabroni out of obscurity than offer a bunch of money to shitty ass Bradford. I am so very happy the dumbass Eagles fired Andy Reid.
He was the last #1 pick before they redid the rookie salaries, wasn't he? #blessed
Think so. It is amazing how he wins no matter how mediocre he is. Hats off to him, he has it made.
