Well there is a difference between guaranteed money that the player gets immediately and the salary cap hit.
$160M could be guaranted in the signing bonus and spread out over the 6 years.
Could have multiple bonus options in the first couple years that gives him the money immediately and we spread it out.
lots of ways that could be done and have a small salary cap hit for the next few years (small relative to $53M average).
I may be wrong on what the structure is but my guess is low cap hits first couple year with multiple option bonuses and a fat signing bonus.
Yup. I have no idea. I'm sure we'll find out shortly.
Some projections are showing approx $8.5M cap hits this year.
