Anthony Hitchens Contract


Recommended Posts

 

Love this kid. Really good fit in a lot of ways. No way you’re getting a fit like this cheap. Big thing is the free agents we signed were pricey but 24 and 25 years old. Second contract guys is absolutely where your money should be spent.

More info from PFT. Looks like a team friendly deal:

 

"The Chiefs beefed up the weaker half of their team by agreeing to terms with linebacker Anthony Hitchens. PFT has obtained a breakdown of the deal Hitchens is expected to sign after 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

 

Here are the numbers, followed by a summary of the other terms.

 

1. Signing bonus: $14 million.

 

2. 2018 base salary (fully guaranteed): $790,000.

 

3. 2019 base salary (fully guaranteed)L $6.5 million.

 

4. 2020 base salary: $7.8 million ($3.8 million guaranteed for injury at signing).

 

5. 2021 base salary: $5.8 million base salary.

 

6. 2022 base salary: $7.8 million base salary.

 

The deal also has workout bonuses of $10,000 in 2018 and $200,000 per year from 2019 through 2020, along with $500,000 annual per-game roster bonuses in 2020 through 2022.

 

Hitchens can earn another $250,000 from 2018 through 2020 based on making it to the Pro Bowl and the team making it to the playoffs, along with incentives of up to $1.75 million per year from 2021 through 2022 for playing time, Pro Bowl, and playoffs.

 

The cap numbers are $3.6 million in 2018, $9.5 million in 2019, $11.3 million in 2029, $9.3 million in 2021, and $11.3 million in 2022.

 

It looks and feels like a two-year, guaranteed $21.5 million deal, with the team holding a year-to-year option thereafter. Which is pretty darn good for a linebacker."
