But a contract that conformed to Ballard's track record would also fit with his stated goal.

3-year, $16.4m total

Year One = $4.2m guaranteed roster bonus, $1.3m salary = $5.5m cap hit

Year Two = $5.45m non-guaranteed salary (zero dead money)

Year Three = $5.45m non-guaranteed salary (zero dead money)


Same amount of guaranteed money, same money out of pocket for Irsay, same total dollar amount but structured in a way that matches what he did in the past.

I just don't see a reason for him to break his pattern.

Walk Worthy,

I saw him on a documentary playing George Harrison’s Gibson sg. This was 2012 and irsay looked like a completely different person.

That guitar was beautiful.
