The details regarding Mike Williams’ three-year, $60 million contract extension were finally made public on Wednesday and you’ll all be happy to know that it’s not an absolute mess.
Unsurprisingly, he’s got an ascending base salary that starts at $7 million and scales to $12 million and $17 million in 2023 and 2024, respectively. His overall cap hit will be $14 million this upcoming season and will grow to $19 million in 2023 and peak at $27 million in 2024.
Essentially, the Chargers set themselves up to be fine over the next two seasons before more major moves and/or restructuring will need to occur.
