When Marvin Jones Jr. re-signed with the Detroit Lions, it was originally reported as a 1-year deal worth $3 million with a chance to reach $5 million with incentives. Now that the contract details have been released in full, as is true in most cases, the structure of the deal reveals it’s a bit more team-friendly than originally reported.
Here’s how the contract breaks down. Jones has a fully guaranteed base salary of $1.4M, along with a $1.6M prorated signing bonus that is spread evenly over the 2023 and 2024 seasons, via a voided year added onto his contract.
