What Tyler Boyd actually got paid in 2019 was 2 million base (Almost the value of the whole contracts base pay), 2.25 million roster bonus (not signing bonus), and a 50k workout bonus (does not exist in rookie 2nd rd contracts). All of that was NOT in his rookie deal and was added to his final year ALONG WITH a 7 million dollar signing bonus that was prorated over the life of his contract.
Your belief on how this works, as was the other dudes, is wrong. The final year number is often renegotiated sometimes minimal sometimes heavily. It's actually funny because the entire logic forgets that restructures exist to literally move the base pay in the later year of a contract into bonus to spread it over the life of the deal, which includes new years. Restructures (specifically void years) are considered extensions but very seriously change the base pay of current contracts which is how this whole argument started with the belief you could not change that final year, which happens all the time.
"All of that was NOT in his rookie deal and was added to his final year"
Of course the signing bonus and roster bonus were NOT in his rookie deal..????? But they were NOT added in his contract to the final year of his rookie deal, you seriously said this....?
Signing bonuses are paid when the player signs the deal and in the year the player sign and receives the cash at that time, this has nothing to do with the initial contract, nothing is added. Burrow will receive a signing bonus on his new deal 2 years before his extension goes into effect, it will not be added to his rookie contract just because of the timing... what are you trying to say?
If you do the math for years 2020 to 2023:
Salaries + Signing bonus + roster bonuses + game bonuses + workout bonuses the total is roughly 41.7M
If you add the per game bonus of 2019 and the small work bonuses the total is 42.05, subtract this from 43M (the actual amount of the 2nd contract) and that seems to be the difference in his 2019 salary raise.
There are no void years with Boyd, when do we do void years? Riley Reiff once? I know you are adding this simply to try to add some bloviated feaux expertise but it is silly to mention.
No one said the final year couldn't change, I simply said I totally disagree that it happens all the time. I didnt see it whatsoever with the handful of players extended this season that I checked on.
What actually is really funny is that you think you know so much more about contracts and what you are spewing is some nonsense and some really basic stuff we all know.
