Between Bosa and Deebo they won't have a cap hit at $50M this yr if extended...Go look at the Kittle and Warner deals and how they're structured. Both guys were getting extensions not resigning as FAs. So if Deebo signs a 4 yr deal for example, it's actually a 5 yr extension because he's still under contract (at a very low cap hit). That alone allows the team to prorate cash into his cheap cap hit this yr and spreading out the cash even more.
Same with Bosa, he's also got the 5th yr option, which will be a guide into what he will get in 2024 as far as a cap hit goes.
People need to get over the APY stuff as well. I get it, it's easy to talk about contracts using that term, but it's not real. You need to focus on the GTD cash (mainly the FGTD). That's all that matters.... I talked about it in the Deebo thread and showed what Adams/Hill are really getting end of the day.
I don't expect their cap hits to get wild for a couple seasons and by that time the cap will have increased massively. We will be heading into this season and the next couple years paying peanuts at the most expensive position in sports as well.
