re: Cam Jordan reworking his deal to save 10 mil against the cap

quote:

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Jordan and the Saints have agreed to alterations that will create $10 million in cap space. Jordan had a base salary of $13 million in the final year of his current pact, but there are three void years to spread out the cap hit.

Serious question (I'm assuming OTC and Sportsrac aren't up to date right now. How do these extra void years affect his void year in 2023?

His cap hit for next year was 12,749,250, based on the remaining pro-ration from his old deal and all the restructures. Is this hit combined with the new bonus and all of that is spread out over the entire new deal, or is this hit separate from the new proration? That would make his cap hit next year from dead money something like $16M

*ETA: if the "three void years" the article references are the ones he already had, wouldn't this push his 2024 cap hit (when he had no contract) to $25M+?
