Wilson 6th highest paid athlete worldwide

[ThePro]

I was breaking down his contract because there seemed to be some confusion with it.

As for your question, I can see how they got $89M, although they didn't break down in detail as to how it was calculated.

Care to share?

$80.5M salary and bonus + $9M endorsements.

I don't get how 35 million adds up to 80 million I'm salary. Are they counting they entire signing bonus because its guaranteed at signing?

It seems so.

Kinda hokey then but it makes sense now. Thanks

So wouldn't it be $70 mil in earnings since the signing bonus is 65 + 5 base salary? Or do you add in the 10 mil roster bonus?

Also, is he still on his old contract for 2019? That is where I am confused. Did the extension wipe out the final year of his old contract or does it begin in 2020, but with part of it counting against the cap this season?

The roster bonus is deferred to '22 , '23

The weird thing about the OP article is that they take June to June. This uses RW's 2018 salary, not his 2019 salary. The "yearly cash" value listed for RW in 2018 is $15.5M. Add the $65M signing bonus.

I went through the numbers in the article for Aaron Rodgers and Bryce Harper, and AR was exact. Bryce Harper was slightly off, but it could be some pay for things like winning the hr derby.

Thought it was a 70 million dollar signing bonus?

Notice what's under the red headings for signing bonus. In my breakdown post, the pro-rated portion of the signing bonus for cap purposes is $65M/5 = $13M.

So what does "yearly cash" mean exactly? I thought you said that his yearly cash for 2019 already included 30 mil of his signing bonus

If you look earlier in this thread we already had this conversation. .. ice99 is doing a face palm tight now

Yearly cash is the exact amount Wilson gets paid from his contract this year. 30 mil signing bonus+ 5 mil million base salary = 35 million yearly cash.

Next year 18 mil base salary + 35 mil signing bonus = 53 mil yearly cash
