Please correct me if I’m wrong

It's not team friendly in the traditional sense, due to the large overall numbers but with the salary cap being what it is and what it's going to be, it's cap friendly.
He doesn't hit 50M+ until 2027 and by then salary cap is projected to be around 300M. That will drop his percentage to around 18%.
EDIT: This article says 306M in 2026.
