This offseason brought us 3 pretty major converted/restructured contracts, lets take a look at what that means for the future.
Kyle Long signed a new 2 year $12.2 million restructured contract with.
Cap hit this year is $5,600,000, with dead cap being $7,000,000, so we get to keep him this year.
But, next year, with cap hit being $9,600,000 and dead cap only $1,500,000, I say we either cut him completely or (I hope) we place another deal on the table. Remember he'll be only 31/32 then, and hopefully healthy this season.
Eddie Goldman converted his $3M roster bonus into a signing bonus, clearing $2.25M of cap for this year.
We of course keep him this season, but then it gets trickier (and tough on our cap), next season he has a cap hit of $10,800,000 and dead of $8,850,000, so hes def. here but moderately pricey.
Gets even tougher next year (2021) with $11,810,000 cap hit and still huge dead cap of $5,900,000.
In 2022 we surely cut him or hopefully strike a new deal with cap hit of $18,890,000 and dead cap of $2,950,000. He'll only be 28/29 then.
And our cap champions Khalil Mack for last. He converted $13M of 2019 base salary & roster bonus into signing bonus clearing $10.4M of cap space.
This year, everything is cool, but then it starts. 2020 $26,600,000 cap hit with $45,500,000 dead and 2021 with $26,646,000 cap hit and $21,400,000 dead.
2022 looks ripe for another restructuring of some sort, its $27,150,000 in cap hit with $12,000,000. He will be 31/32 at that point.
To conclude, our front seven (or five) are gonna get mighty pricey next couple of years. Take a look at these Goldman and Mack's contracts. Add Hicks large contract to it. And (maybe) Floyd's new contract. Danny T is up for extension next year... No wonder there is no money left for DB's.
Hopefully these guys stay healthy and our front-office guys do their magic.
