honestly a tough call....sacks are the primary for a pass rusher but all those hits, pressures, and hurries...TFL... they all have value, as does occupying blockers
year 1...12m salary....12m signing bonus
year 2...9m salary......15m signing bonus
year 3....6m salary.....12m roster bonus
year 4....6m salary......3m roster bonus
year 5....5m salary
five years 80 million with 42m guaranteed... first two years at 24m a year makes him a top paid guy at the position... third year at 18m makes him still well paid.... can be cut in year 4 right before the roster bonus is due...March first 2025?... if he really drops off he could be cut in year three before the bonus,,, five for 80 but essentially three years for 66m with the last two years allowing flexibility if his age catches up, and to spread the cap hit a little.
17.4m cap hit year one
14,4 cap hit year two
23,4m cap hit year three
14,4m cap hit year four
10.4m cap hit year five
I dunno...sounds like too much. maybe its better to just go straight... three years 60m with 42m guaranteed
we dont want to be in a situation where we just paid kyler, and now we are also toting 10-15mil in dead money from someone we cut.
