Its confusing.

I think what it is- kirko will get a total of $20m.
$8.7m owed by falcons.
$1.3m 2026 salary from raiders. And a $10m signing bonus, thats actually guaranteed now to be paid on league year 2027 day 3. But worded as a roster bonus. Basically deferring his signing bonus for a year bc the crosby trade fell thru, i guess theyre tight to the cap?

The Espn article makes it sound like the Raiders are giving him $20m on top of the $8.7m the falcons are paying him.

To be honest, i really thought Kyler was going to want something similar to be in camp now vs waiting a bit & seeing if a bid war would produce some bonus cash. Vikings were smart to get ink from kyler asap. Right about now id imagine kyler is feeling dissed. At the point of career both are at right now. I dont see kirko being the higher paid guy. But- kirko has always managed to fleece out ever penny possible. I guess one should applaud the negotiater?

My opinion dont mean squat... But it rhymes with "bleed".✌️
