$4M guaranteed. I feel better now.

Agreed ... to a point.

If he never dresses for a game, then takes he home only $3 mill .... he gets an extra $88 K per game when he is on the Active Roster .... (is this a hint the Rams will draft a day-1 or day-2 QB?)

But there are 9 mill in incentives. It is fucking bullshit that the media doesn't report what the incentives are. My guess it is based mostly on % of snaps.

He took 6% of the Rams snaps in 2024

It would be nice to know what the incentives are (9M is a lot), but I like a $4.5M cap charge for the backup QB. I was freaked at the $11M number. And I don't see a universe where the Rams draft a QB this year.

As i'm sure we all know, the first numbers we hear generally come from the player's agent who put the best player friendly spin on the numbers they can, the spin that makes them look good as agents.

The real numbers come later when the contract is filed to the league office.

Also, keep in mind, the cap number is based on incentives the league deems likely to be met.

A nice insurance policy. He's definitely better than some of the guys they had as backups. Mannion, Wolford, Rypien. All were pretty bad.

The list is longer than that. But yeah, no need to revisit all of that.

Garoppolo is a nice backup, definitely.

He's one of the better backups in the league. And the breakdown
@Elvis posted shows his contract is 39th in value for QBs. That's good slot for the Rams.
