this week by Jets running back Le'Veon Bell have emerged since Bell put pen to paper. PFT has obtained a copy of the raw document
Morgan Burnett Jersey , which means that (like it or not) you’re now getting a full and complete explanation of all of the details of the deal.This is a full and complete explanation of the entire terms from the raw document, checked, double-checked, and triple-checked.Signing bonus: Bell gets $8 million right out of the gates, an amount to be paid in three installments. He’ll get $4 million within 15 days of March 31, 2019, $1 million within 15 days of April 15, 2019, and $3 million within 15 days of January 1, 2020.Roster bonuses: Bell receives a $4 million 2019 roster bonus, with $3 million of it due within 15 days of April 15, 2019 and the remaining $1 million due within 15 days of October 15, 2019. The payment is fully guaranteed. He also receives a $4.5 million 2020 roster bonus, $2 million of which must be paid within 15 days of March 31, 2020 and the remaining $2.5 million of which must be paid within 15 days of October 15, 2020. The 2020 roster bonus becomes fully guaranteed on the fifth day after the contract is signed, which makes it as a practical matter fully guaranteed at signing.Base salaries: The deal has so-called “Paragraph 5” salaries (because they’re listed in Paragraph 5 of the standard player contract) of $2 million for 2019
Mike Wagner Jersey , $8.5 million for 2020, $8 million for 2021, and $9.5 million for 2022.Guaranteed base salaries: The 2019 base salary is fully guaranteed at signing, as is the 2020 base salary. Bell’s 2021 base salary is guaranteed for injury at signing; it becomes fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2021 league year.Per-game roster bonuses: For each year of the deal, Bell gets $31,250 for every game that has him on the 46-man active roster. The maximum payment is $500,000 per year.Training-camp bonuses: Bell receives $3 million in 2021 and $3 million in 2022 for showing up for and fully participating in training camp.Incentives: In each year of the deal (2019 through 2022), Bell can earn $500,000 for 1,800 yards from scrimmage, another $500,000 for 2,000 yards from scrimmage, another $500,000 for 1,800 yards from scrimmage plus the Jets making the playoffs. The bonuses are cumulative, meaning that he can earn $1.5 million per year.Escalators: Bell has a potential $550
Mark Barron Jersey ,000 salary escalator for 2020, 2021, and 2022 that can be earned in any of three ways: gaining 2,000 yards from scrimmage, being named the offensive player of the year, or being named the regular-season MVP. These are not cumulative; Bell can boost his salary by only $550,000 for each of the final three years of his contract, based on his performance in 2019, 2020, and 2021.The full guarantee at signing, contrary and/or confirming any and all other reports on the subject, consists of the $8 million signing bonus, the $2 million 2019 base salary, the $8.5 million 2020 base salary, the $4 million 2019 roster bonus, and the $4.5 million 2020 roster bonus. If my math is correct (and it often isn’t), that’s $27 million fully guaranteed at signing.The total guarantee (full guarantee plus injury guarantee) is $35 million.The cash flow (minus the per-game roster bonuses) is $14 million through 2019
Bud Dupree Jersey , $27 million through 2020, $38 million through 2021, and $50.5 million through 2022. With the per-game roster bonuses, it’s $14.5 million through 2019, $28 million through 2020, $39.5 million through 2021, and $52.5 million through 2022.The incentives and escalators add a maximum additional payment of $7.65 million, giving the deal a max value of $60.15 million over four years. The Steelers chose receiver Diontae Johnson with their first pick of the third-round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Some say he only has the attributes to play inside—or the slot. But if he’s a good to great slot, his rather lofty draft selection will be worth it."Perhaps it’s fitting that the Steelers first pick on Day 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft, one that came in the third round (66th, overall), was considered by many to be “practically a second-round pick.”I say that because the Steelers have made it a habit in recent years of leaving their fans shocked (and not awed) upon hearingthe name of their second-round draft choice.Yes, whether it’s been Jason Worlds, Marcus Gilbert, Sean Davis or even JuJu Smith-Schuster, that first Day 2 pick has often left a lot to be desired—at least in a “I can’t believe they passed on (insert that year’s version of Chase Winovich here) to reach for that guy!” kind of way. The latest Day 2 draft pick to leave fans questioning the scouting abilities of Kevin Colbert, Mike Tomlin and Co. is Diontae Johnson
Javon Hargrave Jersey , receiver, Toledo. This was the guy Pittsburgh chose with its first pick in the third round which, as has been stated, was practically a second-round pick. When you research the top rated receivers going into the draft, you can understand the concern; Johnson doesn’t show up on most lists—at least not until well after the first 10 or so. This doesn’t necessarily mean Johnson will be a bad player, only that he didn’t really check off a ton of boxes scouts are looking for when evaluating receiving prospects. For starters, Johnson played in the MAC conference, meaning he didn’t really go up against the cream of the college football crop. Yes, Antonio Brown played at a MAC school (Central Michigan), but it would be unfair to not only Johnson to point that out, but to the fans opposed to the pick. Obviously, a sixth-round draft choice out of a tiny school that goes on to have a Hall of Fame career is an outlier. So it’s a bit disingenuous to use that in any sort of pro-Johnson argument. Also, according to Johnson’s NFL.com Draft profile, he didn’t exactly test well at the Combine, and if he can’t test well vs. himself, how can he play well vs. athletes from elite conferences such as the SEC? So, the concerns for the Johnson selection are valid. In addition to his college competition and Combine testing
Sean Davis Jersey , Johnson’s size and speed are also a concern; at 5’ 10” and 183 lb, and with a 40 time in the 4.5 range, he seems too small and a little slow to play outside, which means he’s best suited for the slot. Is a receiver with slot size and speed worthy of a third-round pick? Heck yeah......especially in today’s NFL. When you read Johnson’s strength’s courtesy of his official draft profile,phrases like “Has “look-out!” talent with the ball in his hands” stand out. Another is “Twitchy mover from whistle to whistle.” Those attributes seem perfect for a slot receiver who wants a chance to excel at the next level. It may seem strange to use a third-round pick to select a receiver whose skill-set and ceiling figures to place him firmly in the slot role, but times in the NFL, they are a changin’. How often do teams employ three wide-outs on any given play? Quite a bit. And maybe that’s why slot corners are now much more valuable than they were years ago, with teams using premium draft picks in-order to find really good ones. Slot corners are practically starters, and what are they doing with most of their reps? Covering slot receivers.All one has to do is study the career of Tom Brady and how he’s spent most of it terrorizing opposing secondaries by finding the receiver in the slot over and over and over again to know how big of a weapon a player like that can be. The Steelers do have a couple of decent slot receivers in Eli Rogers and Ryan Switzer, but there’s a big difference between decent and “Holy heck, why is he always so wide open?” Going back to Johnson’s resume. He had three touchdowns of over 80 yards in 2018 (one receiving, one on a punt return and one on a kickoff return). That means he has the potential to go the distance any time he has the football in his hands.It’s safe to say Rogers and Switzer don’t possess that kind of “look out!” ability. The Steelers can use such a talent in the slot, not to mention on their return teams. Johnson may have been a bit of a reach at number 66 (although, it’s fair to point out that NFL.com did project him to go in the third round), and he may have a ceiling as a slot receiver. But really good slot receivers make life miserable for opposing defenses. Great ones become superstars.Even if Diontae Johnson only pulls off the former, drafting him in the third round will be more than justified.
