PlayerRep said:$26 million in 2018, compared to an average of $15 million in the prior two years. I think he feels fine.
"A five-year, $72.5 million pact, Johnson’s contract breaks down rather lavishly. Here’s how, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini:
Signing Bonus: $20 million signing bonus
Fully guaranteed: $34 million
2018 Base Salary: $6 million (fully guaranteed)
2019 Base Salary: $8 million (fully guaranteed)
2020 Base Salary: $11 million (guaranteed for injury only, becomes fully guaranteed on the third day of the league year)
2021 Base Salary: $13 million
2022 Base Salary: $14.5 million
Cap Charges: $10 million (2018), $12 million (2019), $15 million (2020), $17 million (2021), $18.5 million (2022)
As you can see in the photo below, Johnson just became a much richer man. With his signing bonus and base salary, he will make $26 million in 2018 alone."
"After earning more than $30 million over the last two years on tags, the defender’s new deal with the Jets will provide him with his biggest payday yet."

Yeah, but once it's taxed at 90% it will barely buy a house in the south hills. I know, we don't have a tax rate that high yet, but some sure want one.
