Contract details are out for Buffalo Bills cornerback Siran Neal’s new deal, via Spotrac. He signed it in February instead of becoming a free agent in March. The deal is worth up to $9 million including all the incentives (both those incentives are very easy to earn).
It starts with a $1.6 million signing bonus as part of $2.9 million in guaranteed money. The only other full guarantee is his 2022 salary of $1.3 million. He has a $400,000 roster bonus that’s guaranteed against injury.
His base salaries are $1.3 million, $1.94 million, and $2.04 million over the three seasons. He has $400,000 roster bonuses in each of the final two years of the deal. All three seasons have a $100,000 workout bonus and $20,000 per-game active bonuses up to $340,000. That bonus is Likely to Be Earned in 2022. (Neal has only missed one game in his career, so it’s a good bet he sees the majority of these incentives.)
