“Details on CJ Mosley’s 5-year, $85m contract with the #Jets, per sources: It comes with a $7.5m signing bonus. The 2019 ($1m) and 2020 ($6m) base salaries are fully GTD.”
“#Jets LB CJ Mosley has a roster bonus of $10.5m this year (receives on sixth day of new league year, and $10m next (receives on fifth day). Both are guaranteed for skill/injury.”
“#Jets LB CJ Mosley has the following cap hits:
2019: $13m
2020: $17.5m
2021: $17.5m
2022: $18.5m
2023: $18.5m”
^Curious how this works: The $7.5m SB divided by 5 (length of contract) = $1.5m each year.
Cap hit = Prorated SB + base + roster bonuses
“There are gurantees looped into CJ Mosley’s 5-year contract with the #Jets through the 2021 season. Jets can realistically get out of this in 2022, if they choose. A nice 3-year deal, as most NFL contracts are.”
“Technically the #Jets *could* get out of Mosley’s contract in 2021. It wouldn’t be cost efficient, though. They’d owe him $8m of his 2021, which is GTD for skill/cap, plus the remainder of his SB ($4.5m).
In 2022, when CM has cap hit of $18.5m, Jets can cut him & free $15.5m”
