Chris Wormley was a third-round draft pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2017. His original rookie contract was a standard four-year deal that totaled $3,559,644 in value, including a signing bonus of $898,644, all of which still counted toward the Ravens’ salary cap, as signing bonuses did not transfer via trades.
The 74th-overall pick earned a total of $2,725,644 with the Ravens over the course of his first three seasons in the NFL. So how is his 2020 salary cap hit—which is all base salary–$2,133,000? That clearly surpasses the $3.6 million mark that was roughly the total amount of his rookie contract.
