The contract also, according to ESPN, has incentives and escalators that could add an additional $16 million if reached. Those are likely things like Super Bowl wins, Pro Bowls, etc.
One of the more interesting part of the contracts is the $30 million team option that is in the contract for the 2020 season, which could be an uncapped year.
