Breakdown of the DeSean Jackson contract, per source: $2.75 million base
- $103,000 incentive for each game on active game day roster
- $1.25 million incentive if he plays 50% of offensive snaps "and team improves"
- Up to $1 million playoff incentives
- Cap number is $3.26M-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My observation: his cap number is 'only' $3.26M because only a half million of those incentives are considered likely to be earned (LTBE). (More info on LTBE and NLTBE incentives here: [
www.profootballrumors.com] )
Basically, the league expects Jackson to be on the active roster 5 times ($515,000), not play 50% of the snaps, and not reach any playoff incentie.
Naturalyy, if he reaches any or all of those NLTBE incentives he will get paid for them this year, and the extra money goes against the 2022 cap.
