There are a lot of things they can do to mitigate the cap hits. They can back load the contract, add void years. They can pay a large chunk out in signing bonus instead of salary. That's how they reduced guys like Kittle's cap hits, they restructured the deal and paid them a huge signing bonus up front so the yearly cap hits weren't as bad. Jed York seems happy to do that.
Regardless what the deal is I expect the first few years of cap hits will be relatively low. Similar to what the Eagles did with Hurts.
This is the model I would like to see them follow if they extend Brock.
Jalen Hurts signed a 5 year , $255,000,000 contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, including $23,294,000 signing bonus, $179,399,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $51,000,000.
Cap hits: 23- 6M 24- 13.5M 25- 21.7M 26- 31.7M 27- 41.8M 28- 47.1M 29- 97.5M (Void year. free agent year- deal will be restructured before this hits) 30- 29.9M (void year) 31- 19.8M (void year) 32- 9.8M (void year)
They have a potential out in 28 that would only be a 7.7M cap hit. So he will likely get restructured at this point.
