The contract for new Green Bay Packers safety Tarvarius Moore will count less than $1 million on the salary camp in 2023. As pointed out by Ken Ingalls, Moore signed a “veteran salary benefit” contract that lowers his cap hit this season.
The one-year deal has a base salary of $1,080,000 and a signing bonus of $50,000 but will count only $990,000 on the cap in 2023.
The veteran salary benefit rule was added to the CBA in 2020. The mechanism is used to provide smaller cap hits for veteran players with higher salary minimums.
