How much is groot getting Uh, no. It's not resetting anything. This is the 8th highest average per year for right tackles. 8 1 Quote
Captain_Quint Posted September 10 Posted September 10 This is how I see him since his injury recovery. A top 10 RT in the league. Factor in Josh's ability to roll right and find his guy, it's an important investment. 5 4 1 Quote
Bills Fan in MD Posted September 10 Posted September 10 This makes him the 8th highest paid RT in the NFL. By the time next season starts he won't even be top ten. It's a ridiculous amount of for an OL, but I don't see how it's not a big win for Beane. 3 1 1 Quote
BillsFan130 Posted September 11 Posted September 11 72 mil with only 20 guaranteed? I don't think I have ever seen such a big discrepency between the contract and actual guaranteed money 2 Quote
H2o Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Not a huge guarantee and not too terrible. A bit hefty for my liking, but it's not my $$$. Looks like they can get out of it after next year at little to no serious cap ramifications. 1 Quote
jwhit34 Posted September 11 Posted September 11 I am surprised that many still react to the headline number 3 minutes ago, NoSaint said: It’s also very little guaranteed This is the first big point: only $19.85 million guaranteed. Other important points (based on numbers at Spotrac): 1. Cap hit in '25 is $8.2 million. That includes the prorated portion of the $16 million option bonus which is $3.2 million. It is over 5 years because the contract includes void years so it is $3.2 million/year for 5 years. At that point all the guaranteed money has been paid out. 2. The dead cap money starting in 2026-28: $3.84, $2.56 and $1.28 million. Injuries or decline in play and they are out. 3. Between high salaries and roster bonus they can either move on or he becomes an extension candidate in '26-28. It looks like a smart contract to me. If he continues to improve, it will be worthwhile, if he plateaus, declines or is injured they can get out of it. 1 8 1 1 Quote
NewEra Posted September 11 Posted September 11 12 minutes ago, NoSaint said: It’s also very little guaranteed Yeah that’s the saving grace- if he gets hurt or sucks again, we can cut him after the first season of the contract and not suffer too much 2 Quote
BillsFan130 Posted September 11 Posted September 11 The contract structure looks great. Next year, small cap hit. 2026 they can cut him if he isn;t good with little dead cap, or if he is playing good, can extend him and lower the 19 mil cap hit for the 2026 season 1 1 1 Quote
hondo in seattle Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Did we need another thread discussing his contract? Quote
Billl Posted September 11 Posted September 11 That’s a fair deal. He’s an average to above average RT when healthy, and that will be below average money for those not on rookie contracts. He likely could have earned at least 10% more on the open market. 3 Quote
Niagara Dude Posted September 11 Posted September 11 (edited) Seems way too much because he is not a top 10 right tackle, these are the kind of signings that hold the Bills back from signing difference making free agents. I thought 12 -14 million max starting in 2026 season he will have cap hits of 19 mllion and finishing in 2028 at 22 million. Again it not a team friendly contract and he is no dominant right tackle Edited September 11 by Niagara Dude 2 5 Quote
ghostwriter Posted September 11 Posted September 11 In another year or two that will be an average deal.. 3 Quote
