- Hubbard has $9 million in full guarantees, which consists of his $2.5 million base salary in 2018, his $5 million signing bonus that is pro-rated to $800,000 million per year, and a $2.5 million roster bonus.
- Per Aaron Wilson, in 2019, if Hubbard is still on the roster by the third day of the league year, then all $6.15 million of his base salary for that season will become fully guaranteed (note: before the third day of that league year, the $6.15 million is guaranteed for injury).
- For every game that Hubbard is active with the Browns from 2019-2022, he will earn a $15,625 roster bonus, up to $250,000 per year.
In terms of average per year ($7.3 million), Hubbard is the 55th-highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL, but the 5th-highest paid right tackle. If Cleveland wants to cut him after this season, they would carry a dead cap hit of $3.2 million in 2019.
So far, all of these contracts seem to have a very similar structure to them, but Hubbard’s is the one that went past the three-year mark.
