The Arizona Cardinals recently inked tight end Maxx Williams to a contract extension, keeping him tied to the team through the 2021 season. The deal is reportedly worth $7 million.
While the full details of the deal have not been reported, his base salary for the next two seasons is known.
According to the NFLPA website, Williams will make a base salary of $2.85 million in 2020 and $2.55 million in 2021.
That leaves a total of $1.6 million for the signing bonus and any other bonuses the team might have put into his deal. Most contracts have included up to $500,000 in roster bonuses based on games being active.
Even if the entire $1.6 million remaining is all a signing bonus, his cap hit will be a maximum of $3.38 million in 2020 and $3.08 million in 2021.
