LMAO. Cap hit has nothing to do with a player who is traded away. Gotta look at the dead money which goes down every year.

Thanks for posting this! My edible may be kicking in so I apologize if I say something dumber than normal but I love the way they structured the deal. It won't be too painful to move off him after the first year of the extension so that's great. Gives them additional flexibility in the event he gets injured or they don't feel like he's worth it. If he is worth it, he has a consistent cap number to account for so it makes it easier to plan around season to season. I really like this deal much more now than I did before seeing this breakdown so thanks again for posting!

didn't insinuate it was a bad thing, just pointing out that he's going to cost a ton in the very near future

You’re creating a problem that doesn’t exist. That’s pants pissing. It’s also loser talk. The biggest problem with all of this is why I’m surprised that you’re a little *****.
I should know better.

Dead money almost always goes down every year because most of the guaranteed money is in the first few years. Duh! The point is most contracts have escalating cap hits which provides an incentive to cut a player before their contract is up. If for example Kmet's cap hit in year 5 was 17m, it would be more likely that we cut him. See Kyle Fuller who had a 20m cap hit when we cut him. By contrast his cap hit is 11.6 in the last year which makes it more likely that we don't cut him if he is still productive.

While that seems like a lot of money for a guy who still absolutely has not proven he’s worth it, he has definitely shown an upward trajectory, and a few years from now, this deal will probably be pretty team-friendly for a promising tight end. Overall, I’m for it.

Yes. By a long shot. Gesicki offers little other than shitty blocking & bad hands. He’s a big WR that is easy to game plan against since he can only run routes. You would know that if you know, you actually watched games. McDaniels offense genius had zero use for him. That should tell you plenty

Just an odd take by you but that's your thing. Players don't often accept those type silly contracts you speak of. it may end up like that as a result of restructuring the contract later on as was the case with Fuller and could easily happen with Kmet as well.
When looking at it being a most beneficial spot to move on from a player, it's the dead cap that comes into play cause you have to deduct that from the current cap hit to get the actual cap savings.........not that I think you'd understand the first thing about basic math.

I suggest you look at their numbers
2500 receiving yards and 18 TD's in his career, pretty good for bad hands as for shitty blocking, leave it to you to point to something that is determined by opinion instead of statistical facts, numbers are awfully good for a player so easy to game plan for, and I for one do not consider Mcdaniels an offensive genius, I also wouldn't be surprised if Tonyan firmly cements Kmets ass on the bench for most of the plays

Yes brilliant idea. I’m sure Kmet will be benched after signing a massive extension for a TE. You are a bottom of the barrel poster that has little understanding of advanced metrics. And yes, McDaniels is a top tier offensive play caller.

unlike you my understanding of advanced metrics does not revolve around alternative facts and projection

Yes they do accept it. All of the below have low cap hits to start that escalate to a high cap hit that makes it more likely to restructure, cut or trade. Kmet's contract currently shows 11.6m cap hit 4 years in a row which is unusual and makes it more likely we can keep him. You dont know what you are talking about.

You know what's funny? You come up with 5 players, most not really applicable, out of ~1700 players in the NFL and you think you made some kind of point. LMAO
If Kmet doesn't live up to the contract, 11.6 mil cap hit is more than enough reason to give him the boot. Imagine some dopey fanboy thinking it locks him in to the Bears somehow. LMAO

You were wrong and cant admit it. No one gives a shit about some guy making chump change. On most big contracts the cap hits escalate dummy.
And no jackass, the point is if he is still a productive player you keep him at 11.6m. If he his cap hit was 17m in the last year you may have to consider moving him even if he was still productive. This is not really a hard concept.

hahaha, what a dope. How many players in the NFL make chump change, moron? Average salary is close to 3 mil per year and over 200 players make 10 mil or more per year.
Now, you want people to believe Bears have more faith in Kmet cause his cap hit doesn't go up in his last year and Chiefs obviously not as high on Kelce cause his does. LMAO, you are funny stupid.
