    Here's the skinny on the Mario contract

    actually at $100 million maybe I should say here is the phat of the mario deal







    Here we go, in quick and easy terms via info obtained for a source with knowledge of the contract.
    1. $19 million signing bonus.


    2. $5.9 million fully guaranteed base salary in 2012.


    3. $8 million option bonus in 2013.


    4. $6.5 million base salary in 2013, guaranteed for injury only at the time of signing, fully guaranteed second day of 2013 league year.


    5. $10.6 million roster bonus in 2014, guaranteed for injury only at time of signing.


    6. $1.9 million base salary in 2014.


    7. $1 million roster bonus in 2015.


    8. $12.1 million base salary in 2015.


    9. $2.5 million roster bonus in 2016.


    10. $11.5 million base salary in 2016.


    11. $3.5 million roster bonus in 2017.


    12. $11.4 million base salary in 2017.


    13. $100,000 workout bonus in 2012, with $500,000 workout bonuses in each year from 2013 to 2016.


    13. $400,000 Pro Bowl escalator per year.


    14. $400,000 in additional escalators per year.


    The base value is $96 million. The incentives can push the deal to $100 million.
    At the time of signing, the deal contains fully guaranteed money in the amount of $24.9 million.


    Also, another $17.1 million is guaranteed for injury only at the time of signing; $6.5 million of it becomes fully guaranteed later. It’s unclear whether the $8 million option bonus is fully guaranteed; as a practical matter, it is.


    Given the $10.6 million roster bonus due in 2014, it’s a two-year, $40 million contract with a team-held option on the final four years. More accurately, it’s a two-year contract with a one-year-at-a-time decision by the team as to whether it continues.


    While it’s a significant risk in the short term, the Bills can walk away if it doesn’t work out.


    There’s no reason to think it won’t work out. Still, at a time when the perception is that the Bills handed the keys to the checking account to Williams, the truth is that it wasn’t as reckless as some may think.
    lots of details to absorb, but it looks like a contract that won't hog tie us long term. Gotta give the FO credit they seem to get these big contracts tucked in nicely.

      according to Gaugh at Buffalo news the Bills have about



      Buffalo has about $13.5 million in cap space, by News figures.
      it's the last line in the article that states this.

          So the cap figures would be roughly...

          2012 - 9.16mil
          2013 - 11.76mil
          2014 - 9.81mil
          2015 - 20.04mil
          2016 - 20.69mil
          2017 - 23.59mil

            So, unless the cap rises significantly in 2015, MW could be a restructure vs. cap casualty that year.

              Good stuff daryl... thanks for sharing.

              I think there's a new tv deal coming before 2015, so the cap should go up significantly, helping to cushion the increases. All in all I love the deal. Pays him accordingly and gives us a way out if need be with minimal damages.

                2014 is when 2+ billion in new money raises cap. No worries there.

                  lots of bonuses spread out at different times in that contract. I didn't even bother trying to put it all together.

                  Those last 3 years are rough looking, but if TV money is as large as people say it is... Still screams restrucutre in 2015

                  probably not cash to cap is my guess
