It’s silly season. So when players sign contracts in free agency, you often have to wait for the full contract details to be released before you can understand the true number a free agent actually agreed to. A great example of this is the deal that former Green Bay Packers center Josh Myers signed with the New York Jets. Initially reported as a one-year, $3.5 million deal, Myers actually signed a one-year, $2 million deal that includes $1.5 million in incentives.
First of all, that’s an incredibly low number for a three-year starter. Myers is making close to the league minimum for a player with his experience in the league.
