Kareem Jackson Contract Details

Per Aaron Wilson:

Jackson’s contract table can be seen beyond the fold:

2019$3,000,000$3,000,000$6,000,000$23,000,000($17,000,000)

italics – fully guaranteed money

This is a firm two year commitment by the Broncos to Jackson, as all money in his first two years (a total of $23 million) is fully guaranteed. The 2021, of course, has the customary option year for compensatory pick formula manipulation.

Jackson’s cap number for 2019 is very reasonable at $6 million, and will not preclude the Broncos from making other moves in free agency, or from extending players of their own.
