I believe it is between 5-6 mil. I don't think any is bonus. The remainder of the cap hit comes from the fact that they have restructured his deal more than once and now have backloaded it.

Exactly. Plus to answer Arsen's comment, even at 11 million that is not top 5 money since the franchise tag amount is right at 14 million which is the average of the top 5 guys. Rught now Peyton Manning will cost 21 million against the cap as the highest paid guy although it is likely to get restructured.

As you said FB he will actually get paid a little over 5 million this year.

$10,956,666 salary and he's top 10 in highest cap hits for QB's pretty much the same as last year cap hit wise. He was in the top 10 last year as well.

That includes his remaining cap hit from his signing bonus, restructured bonuses and his base salary which is 5 million and change. That is what FB and I said. The fact that it is top 10 is a cap management issue but what he will receive is less than half of that. Which is in line with middle tier guys. If he is restructured it could be as little as 7 million which doesn't make him top 10.

I meant cap hit, They actually could save up to 5 million on the season depending on how much of his bonus they disperse.

Exactly, people confuse cap hit and actually salary expense. Not the same thing peoples.

Extend his salary, extends his cap hit. Now, the debate is still out on if we should do that.

If you ask someone like carolinarolls, he would say give up the farm for Cutler. Not me.

Dehommy's contract, and I expect furture contract, will give us a chance to walk away when we find our QB of the future.

Jake's current or new contract won't break us.

I know Jake's contract isn't breaking us right now nor will his new contract, I was just pointing out how much money the team could save off of the cap this season.

You know give him an extra 10 - 12 million for two years and take his current Bonuses and prorate them through out the three years or push all of it to the last two years. Cap hit this year of lets say 6.5 maybe 7 million, next year 7 or 8 million, then the last year 9 million. That's all five million of his bonuses included in those figures plus an extra million for being extended.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
