Highest player cap hits in 2024

[Chasing6]

The OP was cap hit Dak is 55 this year it is what it is

I understand that, but that is not the comments taking place above. A cap hit is a 100% representation of a GM, not the player.

If a GM decides to over pay a player that is his fault, not the players. If a GM wants to restructure a contract then that is on the GM.

Here is an example of a contract that pays $40 million per year in which the player gets an actual $40 million in cash every year for 4 seasons, but the cap hit changes and ratchets up.

Year 1 - player is paid $40M, 4 M salary, and $36M bonus

Year 1 Cap Hit - $13
Year 2 projected Cap hit - $49M
Year 3 projected Cap hit - $49M
Year 4 projected Cap hit - $49M

In year 2, the team changes the $40M salary to $4M salary plus $36M bonus. The player still gets $40M in cash.

Year 1 - past Cap Hit - $13 (4+9)
Year 2 - Cap hit - $25M (4+9+12)
Year 3 - projected Cap hit - $61M (40+9+12)
Year 4 - projected Cap hit - $61M (40+9+12)

In year 3, the team restructures to pay $4M plus $36M bonus. The player receives $40M in cash

Year 1 - past Cap hit - $13M
Year 2 - past Cap hit - $25M
Year 3 - Cap hit - $43M (4+9+12+18)
Year 4 - projected Cap hit - $79M (40+9+12+18)

In year 4, the player simply receives the final $40M payout in cash for his salary. But his Cap hit is $79M.

In the end, the payout is $40M per year in cash for a total of $160M. The Cap hits also total $160M over 4 seasons (13+25+43+79).

This is the difference between Cash Accounting and Accrual Accounting.

So you are paying the piper one way or another ..........

Half the people don't understand or don't like math.

And that's ok......LOL

 

[Chasing6]

So you are paying the piper one way or another ..........

The key really becomes what did the GM do with the money saved at the beginning of the contract, while you kicked the can down the road.

Was it all wasted on dead cap space from previous poor decisions that did not work out?

Or did the GM go sign an impact player?

We know what camp we are in Dallas.

Well dak gets paid almost double mahomes gets.

I think thats fair. He produces nearly double mahomes does.

These are “cap hits” lol. Not salary.

Mahomes was like 5th in the MVP race.

Kind of says it all right there, does it not, about what the MVP really means?

 

[PAPPYDOG]

I thought Dak was the highest.......wow Cleveland

55 million for DAK.
Jerry you fool, gotta laugh gotta laugh!!!

Yes. It amazing last year how Mahomes kept the other team averaging 16.5 points per game.

He really shut down the opposing QB's really well. He never gave up more than 28 points all year.
