Well, but the signing bonus that Taysom is getting right now as part of the contract is real, correct?


He was going to get the money regardless as a part of his original contract. He’s just getting it now

So anyone want to bet this is the deal that gets the NFL to make rules regarding these types of deals



And why shouldn’t it?


I love what Loomis does, but if you’re going to have a salary cap, why have so many loopholes and tricks to beat it?


This is all very cute but who is our next QB?


When will we have an opportunity to win another SuperBowl?.....since we have blown a decade of opportunities with a HOF QB

Even just seeing that makes me nervous


It should... just think we could bumble in to really paying that... Taysom has a halfway decent season somehow (unlikely but hell stranger things have happened)... salary cap goes up and no available options that are better... all a sudden we paying a glorified TE/HB 35 million a year

I love Taysom and what he does for the team....but this could be a bad business decision.

I'd like to see the contract details....

Yeah but what does next year look like.

Does anyone have the actual breakdown of the 4 years.

I like the dude but he’s so not worth $140M. This has gotten out of control.

What's the significance of the 140 mil?

The phony Taysom Hill extension matches Wilson’s annual average of $35 million per year, and a source with knowledge of the transaction has hinted that it’s not a coincidence.


Per a ProfootballTalk article.

I get the idea of this, but why does the extension have to be THAT high?

Goodell will say we don’t get the Teddy comp pick because we got a QB worth $35M per year now...

The verb there should be “voiding” not “rolling”

Is the word voidable foreign to you?

Voidable years can still hit the cap hard in dead money depending on how much the sign on bonus is.
