Saints re-sign Jameis - 2 year deal [MERGED]

I take back everything I said about Jameis' contract. It's a great structure.

It's not even the $21 million guaranteed that was reported. It's a $14 mil signing bonus and $1.2 mil guaranteed for this season, that's it. Essentially, it can be a one year $15.2 million contract spread across two years if the team wants to walk away as long as he is moved before March 19th 2023. That's less guaranteed money than his backup.

It's such a relief that the team didn't tie themselves to him for very long. It also makes me think we'll be drafting a QB this year.

Yep, that's a perfect deal for him... Gives us a nice window to draft a QB this year or next, and potentially trade for one or sign one as well next year... He is essentially making just over high end backup QB money... Like it.
