It would be considerably more except for the fact that Jax had to eat all the dead cap from his signing bonus on their books. Yes, Ric, if not for that his AAV would be mid-20s. Jax had to eat about $18.5m total in dead cap.
But his AAV for the Bears is not that...which is all that matters.
Agreed
Just pointing out to Ric that Foles' "total cost" is actually way higher. We are getting him relatively cheaply because Jax is accounting for a substantial chunk of it on their books.
His cap hit this year is 11.5, next year is 15.5. it's not until year 3 that he has a cap his of 20mil. And after this year he can cancel out of the deal. That isn't a contract of the qb you plan on having for the next 2 years let along 3 years, so there is no 20mil. 11.5-15.5 is way to low for a starting qb, hell you insisted that starting qb's have to get 20-30+ mil.
His cap hit to Chicago is ~ $16m this year and ~ $21m the next two.

But foles can cancel the contract starting next year, if this is your guy going forward you dont give him that option in the contract basically a 1 yr deal if he isnt the guy or just doesnt like what's going on he is out. If he is your day 1 starter right now why give him that? You don't bc he isn't
It was stupid to add a Player of his caliber… that's what you hope your draft picks turn into.
Sucks, but it had to happen and it did.
I think my sarcasm wasn't clear enough. It's stupid to not add a Talent like Mack if you get the Chance. I'd rather have Mack and his contract over 2 ("later") 1sts

Especially when you consider how Pace isn't exactly lighting it up with his 1st round picks anyway. I'm not slamming Pace here. Just pointing out that 1st round picks for the Bears are not landing any Kahlil Mack guys.

I'd say 99% aren't Mack guys in the first round. He's a Hall of Fame talent. They don't come around often.

My bad, I thought you were responding to the chain of Foles posts that preceded yours.
