Chris Price has looked at its 53-man roster implications.
I will dive into its salary cap implications for Martellus Bennett and the Patriots.
Please note that since we are past the NFL trade deadline all players, including vested veterans like Bennett, go through the waiver process. If a team were to claim Bennett on waivers, they would then become responsible for 8/17th of his 2017 $900,000 salary ($423,529) and his $37,500 46-man roster bonuses ($300,000 for a team who has had their bye and $262,500 for a team whose bye is upcoming). The claiming team would also be responsible for his
- 2018 salary of $3.6 million
- 2018 $2 million roster bonus
- 2018 $250,000 offseason workout bonus
- 2018 46-man roster bonuses ($37,500 per active game)
- 2019 salary of $5.65 million
- 2019 $250,000 offseason workout bonus
- 2019 46-man roster bonuses ($37,500 per active game)
