It differs every year but if one goes down another goes up. There was a time when I felt football players were under paid. I don't feel that way anymore. Guys have one big year and they think they need to get paid what the top guy in the league gets. To be fair it's probably the agents as much or more than the players.

Details of St. Brown's contract. The Lions have easy outs in 26, 27, and 28. I would do this deal for BA in a heartbeat

Cap hits are
5m
14m
33m..out.. dead cap 9m
29m...out.. dead cap 6m
41m...out.. dead cap 3m

So $35M FGTD. Not $70+M

They aren't going to cut him though. He is only 24.

$30M+ a year my ass 😂 that's really $26.5M a year for three years.

That's roughly what I suggested some pages back.

Think it's $28M/year if they cut him after 3 years. 4th year is $36M which he'll probably be worth at 28 under a higher salary cap.

There's no silver lining here. He's going to play out this contract so it's $30M/year.

Are you guys talking APY or Fully guaranteed? Big difference

They can cut him if they want that's the point. They're not tied to him because of his contract

Lions probally did this to try and screw us over. They are like "You want to force us to pay Brock Wright more than we wanted to, we will do the same for Aiyuk"

I absolutely think Detroit timed this as payback for Brock Wright.

they have a massive out after 2025 if they want it

Still think they save $36M if they cut him after 3 years. The $1.7M shown in 2029 assumes there's a void year- the NBC link does not have a void year. I'm not sure there is one or if they'd get that $ back if there is.

Most likely outcome is he plays 4 years and gets paid $120M. Next most likely is 3 years $84M. There's a chance he gets hurt or his play falls off (the flexibility from low guaranteed $ has value) but that's likely low given he's staying with the same team, same QB, he's been durable, and he's 24.
