2019 Cap hit = $08.000m (no dead cap hit)
So, $14.500m will get paid out and he is playing for the other $15.500m.

This contract is so perfect, he is what 25 now? The Colts are on the hook for 2 years where at worst he is probably better than we have had, and at best very good. Year three he is only 27 and there is no gauranteed money and it is easy to renegotiate a long term deal, and if he sucks cut him. I love the contracts Mike Bluem is facilitating.
