I have considered this...he has a huge cap hit if we release him in 2021....we did save some cap space this year when James opted out and we can roll it to next year to deal with the cap hit of releasing him.Originally posted by broncolee View Post

It will be 19M to cut him, 13M to keep him on the roster. I think it is only practical to keep him on the roster to lessen the cap hit by 6M. If he plays well, great... if he is more of the same, he might as well be put on IR so he doesn't hold a roster spot. For 2022 he still has 6M dead money hit or 14M on the roster.Originally posted by broncolee View PostsigpicComment

Iirc the players that opt out get a $160K stipend that is deducted from their salary next year. So basically moving the contract forward one year.
Broncos obligated to pay him for two more years after this. Broncos can only hope he returns healthy and ready to finally earn his “ highest paid RT” salary.Comment

His whole salary will role over... so if saved... it can offset some of the hit... like they did with flaccoOriginally posted by Hadez View PostsigpicComment

To the end of 2020 season the Broncos have ~28.6M in cap space with James' cap# taken out. When the new season starts he will cost 13M then instead of in 2020. According to Spotrac the 150,000 stipend comes off his "salary" but is still in the "misc" column so his cap# next year will be 13M unless he is cut than the dead money # is 19M.Originally posted by Hadez View PostsigpicComment

I have seen this posted a few times... at the time he was signed his salary/contract was NOT the "highest" for a RT. Trent Brown signed 2 days before James at a higher salary and bigger contract and a bigger cap hit in 2019. Maybe I am missing something about the contracts?Originally posted by FR Tim View PostsigpicComment

Former Miami Dolphins right tackle Ja'Wuan James is set to sign the largest contract for a right tackle as he's agreed to terms on a contract with the Denver Broncos for four years worth $51 million, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported per agent Bill Johnson of SportsTrust. The team later made the news official.
Rapoport added that he will get $32 million guaranteed as he becomes the highest-paid right tackle in the league.sigpicComment

Trent Brown signed his contract on March 11 2019 for 66M, 36.25M GTD. James signed his contract on March 13 2019 for 51M, 27M GTD at signing, 32M total. So, if we go by the reported agreed to terms ... date? then he was the highest paid for hours/days? Trent Brown agreed to and signed his contract on 3-11-19.Originally posted by EddieMac View Post
Thanks for the ... info/theory that he has the "highest paid RT salary"... currently he is the lowest paid RT.

At the time Brown was at LT for the Patriots before signing with the Raiders so despite playing RT the majority of his career James was given that title on a technicality.Originally posted by brianmcfarlane View PostTrent Brown signed his contract on March 11 2019 for 66M, 36.25M GTD.

The Denver Broncos have upgraded their offensive line with the addition of offensive tackle Ja'Wuan James.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the two sides agreed on a four-year, $52 million deal. The contract also reportedly includes $32 million worth of guarantees.
As ESPN's Cameron Wolfe noted, this will make him the highest-paid right tackle in the NFL. It also places him not too far behind Trent Brown, who agreed to a $66 million contract with $36.75 million in guarantees Monday to become the highest-paid offensive lineman in history, per Schefter.
So :head scratcher: hahaha
It has something to do with the time of the co tract being executed... Browns was signed On the 11th but not executed until the 13th which left this humorous anomaly on “highest paid”. HahasigpicComment
