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.
This is a bunch of straw man arguments, semantics and nonsense. Your argument isn’t even arguing anything at this point except bouncing around to random points. Someone did say the last year couldn’t change, it wasn’t you but my point was to him. As to your point, still don’t know what you’re even arguing. You said “this isn’t how extensions work” and yet again yes what I described is exactly how an extension can work.
Guess what, if that last year of the deal is nothing like the deal they signed as a rookie they did in fact “tear it up”. Which is exactly what does happen often and most likely will happen on any Tee Higgins deal.
