His cap hit in 2020 would go up by whatever the prorated portion of the signing bonus would be unless Brett structures it with roster bonuses for each year.
Honestly though, it’s in everyone’s best interests to wait till the new CBA is done before inking a new deal. They will be able to pay him more and it will count for less against the cap.
Either that or let him start PM15 and funnel a portion of his payout to the company to reduce the cap impact.
