Whereas Seattle Seahawks followers are doubtless nonetheless ready on the total contract particulars for main free agent signings like Sam Darnold, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Cooper Kupp, we’re solely simply attending to the monetary specifics of a few of their much less outstanding signings.
As of Saturday, the one Seahawks offensive line addition is guard/sort out Josh Jones, who was most just lately with the Baltimore Ravens. He has beginning expertise from his time with the Arizona Cardinals however was in any other case a reserve in Baltimore and with the Houston Texans.
The Jones contract was introduced as one 12 months and “value as much as $4.75 million.” As you in all probability know by now, “value as much as” is a key phrase when speaking about NFL offers. Right here’s what we learn about Jones’ contract now that it’s been finalized and up on OverTheCap.com:
Cap quantity: $4 million
Assured wage: $1.5 million
Signing bonus: $1.5 million
Base wage: $2.245 million
Per Recreation roster bonus: $255,000 (or $15,000 per sport)
In whole, Jones’ $3 million in ensures contains the assured wage and the entire of his signing bonus. Clearly there are incentives that could possibly be reached for Jones to get the utmost cash.
I say this tongue-in-cheek however with a fact-based strategy: Josh Jones has the second-highest cap hit of any Seahawks offensive lineman. Solely Charles Cross is increased at $6.8 million as he enters the final 12 months of his contract (except Seattle picks up his fifth-year choice). In fact, all different Seahawks linemen on the roster are their very own draft picks, undrafted free agent signings, or reserve/future signing Malaesala Aumavae–Laulu, so it’s not that stunning.
