Some of the contract details for new Arizona Cardinals cornerback Robert Alford were made known but we have more information now, including the cap hit per year in his three-year contract.
Alford’s contract is for three years and worth $22.5 million.
Here is what the deal looks like broken down, according to Over the Cap.
He received a $4.5 million signing bonus and his entire salary of $4.45 million is guaranteed. He will also get $50,000 in a workout bonus, provided he participates in offseason workouts.
In all that adds up to a $6-million salary cap hit in 2019.
He has his 2020 salary guaranteed for injury, which adds another $6 million in guarantees. He will count $7.5 million against the cap in 2020.
His salary, combined with his workout bonus, jumps to $7.5 million in 2021, which would count $9 million against the cap.
In terms of cap management, he is an easy cut after 2020. The Cardinals would gain $7.5 million in cap space with only $1.5 million in dead money.
