A year into his contract, Montgomery will be paid the same as Mitchell did during his first year. He has the 29th highest cap hit on the team at $1.64 million, well below Mitchell’s $1.69 million and the rest of the starters.
Additionally, the Patriots would incur a small dead cap charge in the event of a release, given the contract’s $300,000 in guarantees is far below the NFL minimum
In 2023, Montgomery’s base salary will be $400,000 higher than it was in 2022, but he will still cost little if he remains on the team.
Beyond whether he will remain with the organization for that long, the single biggest issue is how much of his $300,000 roster bonus will be deemed likely to be earned.
This year, $280,000 of it was thus designated; the amount for 2023 will depend on how many games Montgomery plays in the upcoming season.
The arrangement is, overall, another low-risk venture for New England. If Montgomery makes the team and fulfills all of his roster bonuses and playing time incentives, he will still account for a relatively small percentage of the Patriots’ cap space in 2022 and 2023.
