Just saying they could give Woods a raise and cut his cap number.They're going to have to give him a big pay raise too. We're getting to the point with Goff, AD, Ramsey and Kupp were we won't have many more contracts in their price range. Woods has certainly played his way into a payday. Question becomes is Woods worth it or do they run with Jefferson a rookie and Kupp along with Higbee and the RB's and use the Woods money to say upgrade a spot on the OLine? Or is Woods that vital to the offense. I love Woods as much as the next Rams fan but we're getting to the stage where we have to make serious decisions about guys like him. He may well take a deal similar to or smaller than Kupps. But he may also want a payday.
His cap number this yr is $8M & next yr its $10M...
His salary for this yr is $5M & next yr its $9M.
So you could give him a 4 yr new deal with a $16M signing bonus and $2M salary the next two yrs. Then in 22' you jump up his base to $14M with some guarantees.
In that scenario he goes from getting $14M over the next 2 yrs to now getting $20M ($16 bonus plus $4M salary).
Plus you cut his 20' cap number from $8M to $6M and his 21' cap number from $10M to $6M. ($2M sal + $4M prorated bonus each yr)
So you carry over this yrs savings to next yr so you clear a total of $6M for 21'...( Counting savings over both yrs).
Then 22' you have more room to bump up his cap figure.
