That figures includes $13.9 million for Smith, who is due a $1 million roster bonus on the third day of the 2014 league year and is slated to earn a $10.4 million base salary in the final year of his contract.
How does this fat piece of crap get paid this much?

That money is no more than fairy dust.

This is the result of renegotiating several times and rolling the money forward. Loomis is a master of juggling the numbers to stay in cap compliance. It's just a fact of NFL life that with continued success you are likely to live close to the cap limits. Moves to accommodate that I can hack. The point where criticism could be had to me is a few of the second contract money amounts. Smith, Harper, and Charles Grant were all given second contracts that I thought were more costly than what their performance and ability warranted. Those big deals were like if the Saints would have gave Bushrod $36mil for 5yrs (the Chicago contract). He was a decent tackle but definitely not worth that much. Most here felt better about him walking at that price. If the same sort of fiscal management when the Smith, Harper, & Grant deals came around was applied things would be better now. There was a lot more free or looser cap money available then. Maybe the tight cap has Loomis refining his cap skills even better.
