After the losses of Steven Means and Michael Bennett to injury, it was clear the Falcons needed some quality depth on their defensive line. Signing veteran Allen Bailey was a good move by the front office, though questions lingered about how his two-year, $10.5 million deal would impact the team’s cap situation.
Well, we finally know the details thanks to OverTheCap.
Contract details
Allen Bailey’s contract is essentially structured as a one-year deal with a reasonable option to play out the second year. It’s a good deal for Bailey and for the Falcons and it allows the team to keep him an additional year if he proves to be a highly productive member this year.
