Seems unnecessarily early, but good to have him locked up. Will be interesting to see what the exact contract details are.

He just got his braces off and can't stop licking his teeth. Love it.

Gotta get the cap dollars into this year. A signing bonus can help with that.

That is exactly what the Colts did with Rigoberto's contract - I would expect the same here. That is one of the main reasons for extending the contract "early".

Contracts keep going up, locking him in now will make the later years look like a bargain if he continues to stay healthy and play at a high level.

Here are a few more contract details beyond the initial terms reported through tweets.

Sportrac indicates the terms are a 4 year extension worth $33.3MM ($9.0MM guaranteed - all in year 2019).

His original contract for 2019 was $0.645MM - that base salary was revised and bumped up to an even $1.0MM. He was also given a $8.0MM roster bonus in 2019.

Base salaries are:

2019 - $1.0MM
2020 - $5.75MM
2021 - $5.4MM
2022 - $5.5MM
2023 - $6.795MM

There is also a weekly bonus for being Active each week - $15,625 per game in years 2020 -2022 and $46,875 per game in 2023.

Holy shit that is a fucking sweet contract for the Colts, there is no way short of acting like a Chefs star player that Moore is not on the team in '19 and after that nothing lost.

It's the sort of contract that indicates that you want the guy for the entirety of the deal, not just the first couple of seasons. I am sure if he outplays his contract value then the contract will be renegotiated in a few years.

I have always hated the short term contracts that are made to look like a 5 year deal just so that the agent looks good. If you are truly trying to sign a cornerstone player sign him to a deal that you can commit to long term such as this one. I really like the way that Ballard has operated with the contracts that he has handed out throughout his reign.

I also think that if you sign an undrafted street free agent to a 2 year deal (which often happens) then he should be paid for the full two years. If you decide to cut him then so be it...but you pay out his full contract, if that means you actually only give him a 3 month contract with no security just because he is camp fodder then do that, and if he makes the team sign him to a new contract at that point.
