Yeah, its a little misleading when they first report the contract amounts it always includes the full amount of what the incentives could be. May never have to pay those or at least the full amount.

Yup. You gotta wait for the structure.

Another minimal 2025 cap hit

The @Vikings are leading the #NFL in money spent in Free Agency thus far.

They weren't screwing around.

Total cap hits of the five #Vikings deals we've seen terms for so far (Byron Murphy Jr., Jonathan Allen, Aaron Jones, Isaiah Rodgers and Ryan Wright): $23.51 million.

Rob Brzezinski and senior manager of football administration Emily Badis are running a master class.

Wow...of $60M in cap space, we've used $23M? So not even half?

Couple contracts still not accounted for, but if they’re constructed like the others (and why wouldn’t they be) I’d say we aren’t done shopping.

Giggity

What most impresses me is despite leading the league in FA spending, we still have a Rd. 3 comp pick in our pocket for next year's draft.

Byron Murphy has $12 million of incentives in his $66 million deal with the #Vikings, and they'll be tough to hit: He needs 7 interceptions for a $500K incentive, and 9 picks for a $1M incentive, each year of the deal.

He also gets $3M for a first-team All-Pro pick, $1M for…

These kinds of incentive laden deals are so smart because if they get injured, it mitigates the spend. And everyone is rooting for them to hit every single incentive possible.

It amazes me that in a limited year talent wise we came out with several top end FAs without overpaying. That front office did work.

3 and a 4 next year.  I don't think we will see another FA signing that would move that.

#vikings have made all these signings without even restructuring any contracts. pic.twitter.com/uhxq1X1MXZ

I am just going out on a limb here.. Probably going to guess that Brzezinski had a lot to do with it. I mean IDK, just a damn guess.

If I showed you an org chart and talked real slow do you think you could understand who Brez works at the direction of?

I am saying he structures the contracts, no? They work together when it comes to that is all I was saying. I am not stupid either, but I giggled. Wouldn't be where I am in life if that were the case. 

It's okay, I enjoy talking with you. I don't lose sleep that you have an egotistical, self-promoting, best in the world mentality. How you people think about life... You're a narcissist, but don't worry it's just a "sickness" and there is a pill for it. Catch my sarcasm there, I hope.

I have no idea how far you’ve made it in life. I do know, by your own admission, you can’t afford a PFF subscription…which annualized out is $10 a month.

So, maybe some day…maybe put in some overtime?

:cool:

Rondale Moore got a 1-year, $2M from the #Vikings:

• $250K fully guaranteed (SB)
• $1.4M base salary
• Up to $600K (!) in per game roster bonuses
• $50K workout bonus

2025 cap hit = $1.4M

$250K dead money, $1.15M cap savings if cuthttps://t.co/7iAr6ViVKh
