Dre'Mont Jones contract: Details of three-year deal emerge
Nearly half of the contract will be paid to Jones in 2023.
The details of Dre'Mont Jones' three-year contract have been disclosed.
Jones and the Seattle Seahawks agreed to a three-year, $51.41 million deal with $30 million guaranteed. $23.5 million in cash will be paid to him this year.
$23 million is fully guaranteed at signing, which includes his signing bonus ($20 million) and 2023 salary ($3 million).
Included in the contract are $510,00 in per game roster bonuses in all three years of the deal. $7 million of his 2024 salary will become guaranteed five days after the Super Bowl.
Here’s how the deal breaks down by year:
2023: $3M base salary (fully guaranteed); $10,056,666 cap hit.
2024: $11M base salary; $18,176,666 cap hit.
2025: $16M base salary; $23,176,668 cap hit.
Not a ton of funny business here. Jones' guarantees essentially keeps him in Seattle through the 2024 season, and the Seahawks will have an out in 2025. They'll save $16,510,000 in cap space if they release him that season.
