Typically, there will be a signing bonus of some size that would hit the cap in 2026 and future years, but that would be a very small percentage of the new contract.
Also, it's probably better for us that the large cap hits are in the later years because, at some point in the near future, Stafford's contract will be off the books and we likely have a QB on a rookie contract.
For some reason I'm still conservative / long-term mindset when it comes to the salary cap. Even with the increase it wouldn't hurt for the team to save quite a bit for the trade deadline or even to roll over into the following season to be used on some of the upcoming deals.
