Hey, remember the freak out over the contract the Raiders gave Davante Adams? That was fun, right. Everyone doing what they always do and latching onto the early max numbers his agent put out on a five-year deal, before the numbers that actually mattered came out. Good times.
What we discovered soon after the fake numbers that will never actually be reached were released, is that his supposed five-year, $140 million deal was actually more like a three-year, $65 million deal.
That’s the guaranteed money on the contract. After those three years, his base salary jumps to $35 million, which is never going to happen.
