Contract is 4yrs 62mln (up to 66mln) 40mln gtd for JPP

like it!

Better than the original amount

Now, I've been seeing a lot of contracts lately where there's guaranteed money as roster bonuses in year 2 and 3 - is that included in the 'guaranteed' portion, or is that part of the overall?

just 4 years instead of 5.

Much better!

I'm good with that.

On his 4-yr, $62M deal worth up to $66M, #Giants star JPP has a $20M signing bonus. He earns $34M within 11 mos & $49.5M over the 1st 3 yrs

JPP is a true Giant. I hope he doesn't take it easy after getting paid, though.

up to 16.5 a year

what we expected it to be before those other numbers leaked earlier.

Sounds about right, 5/52 vs 4/40.

Vernon's cap hit was very reasonable in year 1 though, wonder if they do the same with JPP.

He's worth it. Add Reddick in the draft and the defense gives us a good shot at a SB.

I am hoping we have room to go get a VET tackle or VET RB.

That was necessary.

I'm happy for JPP and his family.

If he's getting $34M in first 11 mo and 20 is the SB, then his salary is $14 million in the first 2 years? So something like this?

20M SB
Year 1 salary-6M(11M cap hit)
Year 2 salary-8M(13M cap hit)
Year 3 salary-13M(partially gtd)(18M cap hit)
Year 4 salary-19M(24M cap hit, 5M dead money if released)

so I'd expect JPP's to be right around $2 million.


Meaning we likely just freed up $10 million in cap space ($17MM franchise tag hit - ($5mm signing bonus + $2mm salary)

Reflecting their respective digits.

I'm here all week, folks.

Probably is something like

$10MM from his signing bonus

$4MM first year salary

$13MM year 2 salary

$7MM year 2 roster bonus (due in february)

Now trade him to the Browns for Joe Thomas and one of their 2nd round picks.

That opens up about $10mil in cap space and gives us more flexibility in the draft.

LOT is handled, the offense is much improved and no way anyone can project which way we'll go in the draft.

They can go either side of the ball now. I would sign Hank and then go LB, DE, RB and TE in the draft.

So much for getting OV money, close but no cigar. 4 for 65 was my guess.

picks for the privilege of paying JPP 62 million dollars when they're clearly not expecting to compete for anything for the foreseeable future?

on a per year basis. He got 1 less year because he's a year older.

You obviously dont know how contracts work. Once the contract is signed, JPP is literally untradeable until year 3 at the earliest.

His entire signing bonus would be accelerated to the Giants cap the moment he was traded.

We only could have traded him if he played under the Franchise tag, because that is no bonus and all salary

Great idea! Then his 40m guaranteed accelerates to this year and the Giants go over the cap by $30m+!!

based on the various threads started on bbi.

he was!

Seems a bit much for "kidding".

For the Giants and a great job by Jerry Reese. Now if we can add another pass rusher and a defensive tackle, this defense will be something to watch, I also would not be surprised to see a free safety added also.

On offense we all know we need a pass catching tight end, a running back, and 2 offensive linemen would be nice. A tackle and a guard/tackle swing man. I loved last years draft and I think they should and will take the same approach. I also love the fact that McAdoo has a year under his belt, and he is much more experienced moving forward this season.

I also like his mentality, he wants to control the lines of scrimmage. It's a fun time to be a Giants fan, we just have to pray for good health, that is the thing that can kill us. We are overdue for some run of luck in that area.

And supposedly he came back early from vacation, does that mean they got this done now in conjunction with another impending deal to get cap space (Hankins?)?

on Hank, AP, and Keenen Robinson and draft 7 offensive lineman in the draft! ;)

he got a 20M signing bonus. I'd guess his 1st year salary is much higher.

Good.

Agreed. He was obviously being facetious, especially given his reference to trading him to the Browns for Thomas and one of their second round picks. That "hypothetical" trade has been discussed many times during the last few weeks.

And 12 million more guaranteed.

Nice.

That means he gets a guaranteed roster bonus in February of next year which will be amortized over the remaining three years of the deal.

for example...
$20M signing bonus today. (guaranteed money)
$3.5M salary in year 1 (guaranteed)--8.5M cap hit
$10.5M roster bonus in February 2018 (guaranteed)
$6M salary in year 2 (guaranteed)--14.5M cap hit
$9.5M salary in year 3--18M cap hit
$12.5M salary in year 4--21M cap hit.

for a guy who's rarely been a consistent performer over a full season.

What's the cap hit for this year? How much do we have available this year? Can we sign Hankins or Robinson?

Sorry BillT

but I'd guess anywhere from 7-11M.

.

So you're saying 8.5 cap this year? Frees up about 8.5?

and first 11 months might not include his 2nd year base salary since he technically doesn't get that until September 2018. So the $34M could just be his SB ($20M) plus his first year salary, plus a 2018 roster bonus.

that we know. It's a solid guess as to the structure.

Robinson back. And a Vet RB Blount,Starks,Charles,etc

This sounds right
