PFT Breaks Down D'Brickashaw Ferguson's Contract

Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com breaks down the six-year, $60 million dollar contract extension that D'Brickashaw Ferguson signed with the New York Jets this week.

PFT's verdict: One-year, $5.3225 million dollars.

"What has Ferguson gained? His base salary of $3.122 million in 2010 (the terms under his prior deal) has increased to a total payout of $5.3225 million.

So he picked up $2.2005 million now, with no guarantees moving forward. Though he'll be in line for more than $22 million guaranteed if he gets through 2010 (and 2011) unscathed, he already was in line for at least $10 million guaranteed next year, the final year of his rookie deal.

Bottom line? As usual, the real terms of the contract fall far short of the amount initially reported."
