2026 Cap Hit looks to be $14.680m
2027 Cap Hit looks to be $46.800m
2028 Cap Hit looks to be $26.400m (due to accellerated pro-rated signing bonus amounts now accellerated into 2028 since he is no longer under contract).

[[NOTE: There is $120k not being accounted for in anyone's numbers if the contract was for a flat $88m.]]

If cut after 2026, hit cap hit appears to be $45.710m so just less than if we let him play in 2027.

Honestly? For the position the team is in, this a fine contract.

Wait, so there is a 26.4 million cap hit in 2028 regardless of whether he’s still in Indy?
