Barring a renegotiation, the #Bills will acquire WR D.J. Moore on a 4 year, $98M contract that includes:

2026: $24.5M ($23M gtd)
2027: $24.5M*
2028: $24.5M
2029: $24.5M

*$15.5M of his 2027 salary becomes fully guaranteed on March 13th.
They will turn his 2026 salary into a roster bonus to free up cap space.

Not a great return since those picks will be at best in the mid to late 20's.

Oops, read it wrong. So the 14th pick in a weak draft and I do expect the Ravens to bounce back to their normal excellence. Their pass rush was their biggest problem last year. AFC north not looking as strong as usual. It will be interesting to see it plays out.

According to Cleveland.com, with Watson originally having a cap hit of over $80 million, the Browns are converting up to $44.745 million of his $46 million base salary into a restructure bonus.

The move will free up $36 million in cap space as the official league year begins next week. The move makes Watson's base salary the veteran minimum of $1.255 million.

The Browns are also expected to make a similar move with cornerback Denzel Ward, whose base salary is just shy of $17 million.

Per OTC, that leaves him with still a $45M cap hit this year, $36M in 2027, and $51.5M in 2028, after which his contract finally voids.

I guess that answers the question on his insurance policy or lack there of.
