And it is big money to OBJ
1.165 million base salary
13.835 million signing bonus
3 million in what are described as reachable incentives
so at least 15 million guaranteed.
A lot more than I would have liked to have paid, but at least they did something with the receiving group.
Wow that is crazy I figured like 8 million in not super likely
Incentives.
Yeesh. What an overpay. Glad he went to the Ravens.
definitely seems like an overpay, but if he actually has anything yet it could work out for Baltimore. And Meyers was basically the best WR on the market available (other than OBJ). It wasn't exactly like there were a whole lot of options out there. It is just 1 year so no big commitment. So if it doesn't work out, they can at least say they tried to find a #1 WR.
Also, Lamar seemed to like the move, so if signing OBJ gets Lamar back in Baltimore it was worth it no matter how much of an overpay it otherwise might have been (kind of like the Bucks trading for Jrue Holiday, which led to Giannis signing the 5 year extension - even without the title, having Giannis back made that move worthwhile).
