Predict the new money on Jordan Love’s new deal

[Joemailman]

OK, don’t know shit about salaries, cap hits, etc.
Is it possible to structure a contract , guaranteed, to pay out over a whole bunch of years?
Like MLB?
First done by Bobby Bonilla, now by Shoei Ohtani.
Pay a guaranteed bunch up front, then pay out a bit, year by year?

Signing bonuses can only be spread out over a maximum of 5 years.

Under 60 is going to be tough unless he lays a rodgers sized 49er egg

Oof. If he wins the sb he might reset the market. Damn!!

I think at nfccg he resets market. Win or lose.
We thought he would wait for dak, I think dak will wait for loves contract

I would be fine with resetting the market if it comes with a Lombardi.

He was reasonable with his 5th year option. He is so very very even keeled I wouldn't be shocked if the deal is team friendly. Of course at this point even team friendly is a shit ton of money.

Team friendly in most cases means that the player is betting on himself to still be good enough to make it to those big money later years without getting cut. I could see Love thinking that way - getting a record setting but heavily backloaded contract. It worked with Favre, and it worked with Rodgers too - team friendly but ultimately making the player filthy rich too.

I think the 10.yr Mahomet deal is a good framework.

Rodgers signed his new contract in March of 2022. Love will sign his in March of 2024. I suspect Love will pass Rodgers in annual dollars but significant less guaranteed. They will do the two years and we'll see since he hasn't played that much yet.
