That's a screen-shot from OTC from Wednesday morning. OTC was the first cap site to up-date for Stafford.

Later in the day, Spotrac up-dated with a higher 2025 cap hit off $47.5M.

Still later, OTC revised it's up-dated number to match Spotrac's $47.5M.

When they show his revised contract numbers I wonder if that includes bonus he's already been paid in '25? Or if that was on top. I believe he had a 7.5 mill bonus paid out beginning of the new league year

Could have been delayed by mutual agreement until the new deal was finalized.
 
I thought there was no more guaranteed money on his contract going into 24. Then they reorganized the contract to give him 9 mil guaranteed in 24 and there was no guaranteed money left on his contract. That was a major sticking point for Stafford.
 
2027 - Staff has a dead cap hit of $14.4M. Not terrible, probably estimated at only 5% of total cap.

They could always resign #9 if no planning for Manning.

They’re probably going to resign Stafford even if do go ahead and draft Manning next year.

So he gets 44 mill instead of 27 mill, nice work if you can get it!!

The 27 M was just a placeholder for stalled negotiations from the previous year. Stafford was never gonna play for 27M and both sides knew it.

The question always was, "how big was his raise gonna be?"

Many pundits (and many of us on ROD) thought he would get at least $50M per year.

So frankly the $44M number is a LOT lower than what many of us expected.

As I recall, there were strong indications that Stafford could have gotten 50M from the Raiders-- all he had to do was play for a shitty team with an uncertain future. But instead, the Rams dug in their heels, and Stafford ended up giving us the hometown discount. (With a few heart-attacks from fans along the way).

Or sign another solid young CB who is still a FA; Asante Samuel Jr. Shocked that he is still unsigned.

Please no

Asante Samuel Jr's injury highly concerns me. He should have been signed long ago so him being available is such a huge red flag that I'd wanna pass on him.

IIRC he was getting around 27 mill this year on the old deal, now he's getting 44 mill
That's taking care of your guy.

27 mill was the cash he was getting, but the annual value was 40 mill due to the previous bonus he was already paid.
He was previously playing 2025 for 40 mill with 27 mill in cash.
Essentially with the new deal he’ll make an additional 17 mill in cash, basically paying him 57 mill including past payouts

Since the beginning of the 22 season the Rams have given him $125m. So that's $41.7m per season.

Not sure what happened within those years but that's the cash value. So it's a slight bump up in salary.

He had 2 years and 58 mill left from his 4 year 160 mill contract. With signing bonus and front load he had made 102 mill. From an AAV perspective he was making 40 mill but he made a lot more than that
 
I didn’t see the Rams doing the same with Kupp but…
It was obvious after puka had his great rookie year either trade or let him go they needed something different at reciver

Ahh, I see the disconnect here.

In the last year of his deal that came with the trade Stafford was criminally underpaid. So the Rams gave him an extension with a huge signing bonus.

So to them, even though the extension started a year later, they were paying him in 22.

Thus, 3 years and $125m so far. You can't just look at the extension contract.
