That means that the predictions Matty and I gave are impossible. With a bonus of $17.5 million or $18 million over 6 years, that would allocate $3.0 million to each season in bonus alone. That would put him over the rookie pool.
The contract will have to have a lower bonus. In exchange, the Skins will give him a voidable 6th year, and more base salary in the later years. I'll say in the neighborhood of:
- 6 Years (6th year voidable)
- $12 million bonus
- Total value of $45 million

How about something closer to $15M guaranteed then? Would that work?
