IndianaJet Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 If I'm doing math right, it looks like just under $50 million guaranteed, without including the work out and per-game bonuses, which are technically not guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 He should have once again put in a clause that says he gets a bonus if the Pats make the superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRL Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 If we sign Cousins you can expect a similar contract structure. Also we'll probably only sign 1 or 2 other free agents (C & CB) to conserve our cap space going forward. Then in the draft I can see Maccagnan trading down at least twice in the first 3 rounds to accumulate more picks. Then we could bring in 9-10 picks on rookie contracts for the next 4 years as the big $$$ comes off Cousins contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy did not lockup starting players that are free agents next season - like ASJ, Claiborne, Ealy, Davis, Bass, Johnson, etc. If he starts talking about extending Adams who is signed through 2021 I will ******* choke him.

If we're trading down like we did to pass on Pat Elflein to get Stewart and a fifth rounder which eventually turned into Dylan Donohue, no thanks. We're not exactly super sharp about finding value. I'd rather pick high and have a better shot of getting someone who will improve the starting roster rather than lots of cheap camp bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart structure Very smart indeed. Jimmy Garoppolo signed a 5 year, $137.5 million contract with the 49ers on February 8, 2019. All contract details come via a report by ESPN's Adam Schefter and please credit accordingly. Garoppolo received a $7 million signing bonus and $28 million roster bonus as part of his first year salary. His 2018 and $7.5 million of his 2019 salary are fully guaranteed bringing the full guarantee to $48.7 million. $74.1 million of the contract is guaranteed for injury. There are annual per game roster bonuses of $800,000. After the first year, his cap number will seem reasonable considering the handful of quarterbacks expected to get extended possibly this off-season or next (Rodgers, Ryan, Wilson, Mariota, Winston, etc). Also with the growing league cap space by an approximate $12M per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 This is a smart contract. Guaranteeing for injury is fair. Guarartying for jail or other things is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickTamland Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Wow. This is a deal for SF. Jimmy getd paid. But hes totally cuttable after only 2 years. If he is starting at a high level then this is a relative bargain for years 3-5. Good work SF ppl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjbuddy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 When comparing this to Stafford's contract last year, they are similar in total amount and years (not in guaranteed money though). Also, looks like in both contracts, the team can get out after 3 years. But the way the contracts are structured are very different, cap number-wise. Stafford's contract escalates and tops out at $31.5M in 2020. Garoppolo's contract is front loaded and starts at $37M, but drops and slowly escalates to $27M in 2020. The contracts were structured to be beneficial for their respective teams. The Lions are expecting an increasing cap number and that they can manage their spending in future years, since at the time of the signing they didn't have the cap space. The 49ers front loaded the contract since they have the space now. If the guaranteed monies were somewhat equal, I wonder which type of contract Cousins would prefer? It seems like a few teams, including the Jets, could offer a Garoppolo type of contract, while others may only be able to offer a Stafford type of contract.

HessStation Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Question.... why do injury guarantees still affect the teams cap? they shouldn't. Wouldn't that alliviate a lot of issues? Bortles situation for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets signing him makes no sense on any level, and there are at least 3 better landing spots for him than the Jets. If somehow "brain trust" we have gets him here, it will fail in the most spectacular way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
