The TLaw extension won't be on next year's cap, it'll be after the season. Cam's deal gives us an out next year with only $5 million in dead money then he's clear for 2025 when the new TDeal will hit. We clear $16 million next year when we cut Cam after this season to pay for Allen/Ridley if we choose to resign them.

If we follow the Bengals and Chargers route it won't even officially kick in until 2026.  Both teams picked up the 5th year option with the 5 year extension kicking in after that.  The Bengals didn't really adjust Burrows 5th year option number but the Chargers lowered Herbert's by about 10 mil.  Both of those according to overthecap.

For reference on Lawrence, OTC projects the 5th year number to be either 23.25 mil or 32.96 mil depending on if he's selected to the PB this season.  His PB last year doesn't count since he wasn't an original selection.
