I'm not wading through the worthless threads currently on here to see if this is posted already.

1st two years would be a very team friendly average wise vs the cap. The only bad year contract wise would be the third but by then you could have almost all the guaranteed money paid and cut him or re do contract if needed. In short 2 good years and 1 bad one as far as cap hit goes.

I know backloading is common but those last three years are killers. We will have to figure out how to pay Jordan, Hicks, Vacarro, and Lewis during that phase of Jimmy's contract.

You realize this is Fox 8s idea if a contract they would offer JG? Not in any way a reality?

How about you word it like that

His guaranteed would/could be paid by then allowing for a out right cut or contract redo.

Fox 8 is kinda owned by Benson these days. His people are no longer directly running it.

JG wouldn't accept that deal. Too much non guaranteed money back loaded. He would basically have to play lights out for the saints next two years to not force a renegotiation or cut him after year 2. He'll probably command around 20 million signing bonus over 6 years

Thats what a agent would say.


It could 100 million back loaded as long as it is non guaranteed.
Thats what we want.


As to the norm is varies. I think Gronk got around 18 mil guaranteed.
