With the Bosa deal they dropped him $50 million up front, so that makes his cost $10 million plus salary and bonuses for each season. That base salary for the first couple seasons made his  cap hit $11.7 and $14.4 the first two years. The third year the cost is a little over $20 then the next season they can get out for around $13 million dead money for two seasons. Obviously we want Allen to be here for most of the years of the new deal, but the structure can be such that we rework it or let him go around the time he turns 31. All this talk with the numbers thrown around is mostly for agents and headlines, it has little bearing on the actual salary cap and how the contract is structured.

Given how this team is being constructed wouldn't we want most of his cap hit being in year 1 and 2 as you still have T-Law on the rookie deal, and you would hope that some of the young guys drafted in 22 and 23 will continue to get better and and take a larger part of the cap?

Unless you are thinking the Jags just keep pushing it back with restructures? I just worry that becomes a huge issue eventually if the team does that.
