u guys really need to understand the cap before making any assumptions about a potential kaep deal
the only money that matter is the signing bonus and how its spread throughout the contract
take a look at the flacco deal
u see how they've spread out his signing bonus money in the first 5 years of the life of the contract at 5.8 mil each year?
the niners have a much better cap situation, they can possible give him a 30 mil bonus and spread his bonus over the first three years of the deal and basically get him off the books and renegotiate his contract again in 3-4 years
theres a reason why the niners wanna get his deal out of the way, its because they can and he'll be more expensive if they have to franchise him. niners got the cap space right now and they know they have to use it because its not like if your 10-15 mil under the cap this year it rolls over to next years cap. once they cut rogers thats basically 20 mil under the cap this year
corner or safety is getting drafted in the first
hes gonna be more expensive after franchising, but we'll also know far more about kaep with 3.5 years as a starter than 1.5 years as a starter. Im willing to save money now and pay for him later, and maybe pay an extra 1-2 mil per that will be the difference, paying for a known commodity rather than potential.u guys really need to understand the cap before making any assumptions about a potential kaep deal

to be fair, ironically kaep is probably one of the best qbs youd want when facing off against seattle, purely because he can run the ball.
like ive said pay 20m now or 25-27m after paying him 1m this year and then franchise tag at 16m ? Ill choose the latter, the difference is barely there but we'll know far more about kaep, roman, harbs and the offense. shyt even brees was hit with a franchise tag just two years ago
