Saints' deals with James Laurinaitis, Craig Robertson include incentives

The New Orleans Saints didn't have to break the bank for new veteran linebackers James Laurinaitis and Craig Robertson.

Laurinaitis' deal is worth $8.25 million over three years, with a chance to increase by $500,000 per year with incentives. Robertson's deal is worth $5 million over three years, with a chance to increase by $1.5 million per year with incentives. All of the incentives are considered "not likely to be earned," which means they won't count against the salary cap unless they are reached.

Laurinaitis' $1.8 million signing bonus is the only guarantee in his deal.
