The Green Bay Packers have officially signed second-round pick Edgerrin Cooper. Over the Cap now has the details on what Cooper’s rookie deal will look like.
Cooper earned a standard four-year rookie contract that totals $8.598 million with a signing bonus of $3.073 million.
Cooper will receive the full signing bonus up front, but from a salary cap perspective, that $3.073 million can be pro-rated over the life of the contract. Or, in short, the cap hit in 2024 from that bonus is just $768,440.
That pro-rated signing bonus amount plus a base salary of $795,000 will make up Cooper’s cap hit for this season, which totals $1.
