Gallen5862 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 http://espn.go.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/15619/ricky-jean-francois-contract-breakdown?src=mobile&rand=ref~%7B%22ref%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fhttr.cpnd.us%2Fthread%2F17136%2Fde-ricky-jean-francois-signed%3Fpage%3D3%22%7D Ricky Jean Francois' contract breakdown New Washington Redskins defensive end Ricky Jean Francois' contract does not pay him like a guaranteed starter, but, much like Chris Baker a year before, like a top backup -- and potential starter. Jean Francois, who signed with the Redskins last week, will have a salary-cap hit of $2 million this season with a cash value of $4 million -- the same numbers Baker had last year, the first of his three-year deal. Jean Francois' base salary will be $1 million, which is fully guaranteed. The Redskins could use more line depth and will have to pursue some at a starting level. One AFC scout said Jean Francois was best used in reserve, one reason why the Colts released him rather than have him count $5.5 million against the salary cap. But the Redskins' contract suggests they view him as a rotation guy and not a guaranteed starter. After signing him, they released defensive end Stephen Bowen and end/nose tackle Barry Cofield (who was waived with a failed physical designation; if healthy, he could return). Here's the complete breakdown of Jean Francois' deal courtesy of ESPN Stats & Information: 2015 Cap hit: $2 million Base salary: $1 million (fully guaranteed) Not likely to be earned incentives: $750,000 based on playtime and making the Pro Bowl. 2016 Cap hit: $3 million Base salary: $1.75 million Roster bonus: $250,000 ($15,625 per game active) NLTBE: $750K based on playtime and making the Pro Bowl. 2017 Cap hit: $4 million Base salary: $2.75 million. Roster Bonus: $250K ($15,625 per game active) NLTBE: $750K based on playtime and making the Pro Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 So essentially after 2 years we can cut him, and save $3 million+. With that in mind, I think its a pretty Redskins friendly deal, its a 2 year backup deal with the option for the 3rd if he plays well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Yeah, the only way that deal gets expensive, is if he plays for three years, (and is active for all or most of those games). And even if he plays every game, for three years, it's $2.25M/year, unless he makes the Pro Bowl. I'm not sure about our FO's ability to pick players. But I really haven't seen any really bad contracts, last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 We can judge Scott on his first year performance once preseason begins.Well I guess that's more patient than some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
