The article discusses recent NFL player contracts, focusing on key players like S Will Harris, DT Eddie Goldman, and P Tress Way. It highlights the financial implications of contracts, including the Veteran Salary Benefit, which allows teams to reduce salary cap impacts for seasoned players. Will Harris's potential role as a replacement for Jeremy Chinn and Goldman's contract's unique structure under this benefit are emphasized, as well as the surprising one-year extension and pay cut of punter Tress Way.
"If the Commanders want to get out of this contract after 2025, they will have paid Harris $4m for the season of play. Assuming this Jeremy Chinn replacement works out, he will earn just under $8m for two seasons."
"Veteran Salary Benefit allows teams to offer a 'Qualifying Contract' to any player with at least four credited seasons at a reduced salary cap hit."
"The contract for K Zane Gonzalez qualified under this benefit, and now Goldman does as well, counting just $1.03m against the cap despite being paid $1.25m."
"I was one of many who were surprised that Tress Way (a) only signed a one-year extension, and (b) took a pay cut from his last contract."
