Analyzing the Falcons’ contract with Allen Bailey and how it impacts the salary cap

After the losses of Steven Means and Michael Bennett to injury, it was clear the Falcons needed some quality depth on their defensive line. Signing veteran Allen Bailey was a good move by the front office, though questions lingered about how his two-year, $10.5 million deal would impact the team’s cap situation.

Well, we finally know the details thanks to OverTheCap.

Contract details

Allen Bailey’s contract is essentially structured as a one-year deal with a reasonable option to play out the second year. It’s a good deal for Bailey and for the Falcons and it allows the team to keep him an additional year if he proves to be a highly productive member this year.
