The Falcons are very fortunate to have the problem of needing to pay players they’ve drafted. It’s a good sign that you’ve drafted well enough to worry about how you’re going to pay them all.
When the Falcons announced that they had extended Jake Matthews last week with a 5 year, 75 million dollar contract, there was some concern over what that money would mean for this year and over the next several years.
Thanks to the folks at Over The Cap, we now have a good idea of how Jake’s cap hit will land over the life of this deal.
