Rapsheet posed he signed a 3 year up to $57m extension.
Realistically
Its a 1 year $8.45m contract (in terms of cap hit spread over 2 years) up to $11.45m with incentives.
But hes getting paid $12m up to $15m with incentives.
Thats all thats guaranteed. The other $45m? All fluf.
Doesn’t guarantee until 6/8/2027 allowing him to be a post 6/1 cut next year.
So yea call it
Cap hit 2 year $8.5-11.5m ($4.3-5.7aav)
Cash 1 year $12-15m (12-15m aav)
Reported 3 year $57m (19m aav)
Mr. Swift is just trying to prove that he earns more than what Taylor loses in the couch cushions.
Sounds like the agent may have Rapsheet report it the way that he did? OTC has it the way it normally reads…which is just 2 void years that do not even attempt to place a salary figure to those years.
So, one year $13.3 m.
What this contract says is he’s 
retiring after this season.
Does KC draft that stud TE? A year of tutorship under Kelse would be smart.
No need…they have the great Robert Tonyan on the roster!
Yea because thats the realistic contract.
But in the details it says $40m becomes guaranteed after 6/9/27
So the 2 years become unvoided. Completely pointless to include. Other than to grab headlines
They need the extra years to lower his cap hit. It seems like his $13m can be spread over 2/3 years.
Yes. But you can do that the normal way of just $12m contract. $10m signing bonus. 2 void years. DONE.
Its the added line in the contract “$45m gets guaranteed 6/9/27” thats completely pointless. Dont need it at all. Other than for the agent to brag “ive made my clients billions”
Good point.
Hutch has a base salary in his void years I think.
This is true. And it is $45m of fluf hell never see.
2030 $45 in cash. But 0 guarantees.
His real extension was only 3 years 135m virtually all guaranteed after his rookie deal + 5th year option.
But they will likely extend/cut/trade him before that last year of the contract anyway.
2029 $54m current contract. $31m (just before new year) dead if cut.
So REALLY its just a 3 year extension at $135m $114gtd after his 5th year option.
