Tarvaris Jackson re-signs with Bills

[Kelly the Dog]

Now that is very reasonable. The $4.5M figure that was floating around had me baffled.

I always imagined the contract to be for about 2M, and the 4.5M figure was if he achieved escalators based on starts and production, etc.

Nothing on Joe B's report on the contract details:

1.75MM, no signing bonus, no guaranteed money.

 

Should we cancel the end of the universe party yet?

 

Why'd you say "nothing on Joe B's report on contract details" when his report included the contract details?

Ahhh, thank God. The world makes sense again.

Apparently 1.75m is the max

As officially recorded, it’s a one-year, $1.75 million deal with no guaranteed money or incentives. In reality, the deal includes a $500,000 signing bonus (which already has been paid) and incentives that could earn Jackson another $2.25 million, if he takes 65 percent of the snaps on offense.

More specifically, Jackson will get an extra $500,000 if he takes half of the snaps in 2013. He’ll get an additional $750,000 if he takes 60 percent of the snaps. And he’ll pick up another $1 million if he takes 65 percent of the snaps.

In all, it’s a $2.25 million package with $2.25 million in available incentives. The guarantee is $500,000.
