Sweet.

In summary, it seems the virtually unavoidable CAP HITS through 3 yrs (followed by a release afterwards) looks like:

The RED:
2025: $9.1M

2026: $24.7M

2027: $30.8M During Season,
+$5.2M If Cut during the 2027 league year
_________________________________________
The GREEN:
2028: +$25.5M in additional cap space

2029: +$56.5M in additional cap space

2030: +$64.6M in additional cap space

2031: +$11M in additional cap space

In terms of potential cap hell, it looks like we've turned out pretty well with this deal, given our options.

I said all along the focus should be these potential hits instead of that AAV stuff, because we want to stay competitive.

Even if cut after 2027, the extra money due to it could potentially keep his largest cap hit for all of the years of his deal to max out at about an 11% threshold of the total cap.

Don't see how you could ask for much more than that in terms of being able to sign other players.

We can release him after 2027 if things go south is all I care about.

Kudos to Paraag for getting this team-friendly deal done!!!!!!

This is an extremely team-friendly contract. It's by far the most team friendly in the realm of other similar contracts (Hurts, Tua, Goff, Love, Lawrence) which is pretty crazy.

Theoretically even the 35ish cap hit after 2026 if something goes completely awry (Kyle is fired for example and new regime doesnt want him) doesn't look all that bad. Ideally it doesn't ever come to 49ers eating that cap hit with him not on the team...but nonetheless.

And after 2027 they're free to cut bait with no dead cap at all. I mean, wow.

The cap hits are huge in 2029 and 2030. By that time you know if he's worth it or not. The incentive would be to cut him there. A lot of the guaranteed money is out of the way. Those future numbers are big. But you know after a few years if you still want him by that point. 2025, 2026 and 2027 aren't really that bad on cap hits. Looks pretty team friendly.

2030 is essentially a void yr. He will never see that 2029 yr on this contract, he will either be extended or cut at that point

This isn't a question of whether they ovewrpaid for Brock. In the current market it's a fair deal. The problem is that salaries overall are just going wild. We fans have become numb to the money and the impact it eventually has on ticket prices and all the other costs for fans. We've become institutionalized to use a term from Shawshank Redemption. We talk about the money like it's nothing when many of us can barely afford to attend one game.

I've been an avid sports fan my entire life but I find it harder and harder to have any emotional attachment to players now. They live in a different world than we do.

April 1st 2027 is gonna be the deadline date on this deal…I think if he's on the team past that date he's GTD like $55M in 2028.

So your answer would be.... What? Let the billionaire owners pocket more $$? The NFL makes a lot of money because we like watching the players. The players should get the vast majority of that money.

And by the way, the NFL has (by far) the worst CBA from a player perspective.

The idea that players should get the majority of the money is silly. Yes fans pay to see them but the team wouldn't function without the money the owners invest. Most owners don't make a lot of money from football after expenses. They're money usually comes from other sources. I'm not against players making money but they don't need to be the highest salaried people in America. Especialy when it keeps driving up prices. Tickets go up. Parking goes up. Access to view games on TV or streaming gets more expensive.

What bothers me even more is the game isn't getting better. They keep changing rules to try and protect these high priced players and it just waters down the game. These millionaire players are far more cautious because they're worried about injuries.

What? Lol. What does that even mean.

The same can be said about Allen, Mahomes and Lamar. Let's keep it a buck. There's a reason why neither of them was the #1 overall pick. Mahomes came from gimmicky college offense and couldn't read a defense and Lamar was a running QB who couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. All these guys had were their physical tools and work ethic but none of them went to dumpster fire organizations. They went to organizations with stable coaching and management that were already having success. The teams just needed the right QB to take them over the top. Each of these QBs came into organizations that created a system for them to play in. They are the perfect QBs for the system they run. They're the ultimate system QBs and they are surrounded by playmakers.

Brock is no different than these guys. He's the perfect QB for the system Kyle runs.

I think Brock's skill set works very well with what Kyle wants in a QB. Do I think he's "perfect" for the system Kyle runs? Meh perfect is a strong word.

Either way they believe enough in him to give him a massive deal. So let's go win a SB now.

I feel like this is a lie. Seems like he already has a boat. He should've gotten a nice chunk of change from Toyota to already purchase one.
