    Only 34 guaranteed though, so deal looks better

    Let's see how it translate to field, but supposedly arm strength is much better

    Even practice reports (I know, practice reports) saying brees arm looks stronger

    Cook got 28 million guaranteed, and kamara got 34. Pretty similar.

    It would be awesome if they drafted Kylin Hill next year and used Kamara as a flex.

    Here's a post by bonethug (salary cap whiz) on saints talk about the contract...

    "In fact, it's much closer to what many expected.

    Not all the numbers are out, but enough to piece things together.

    First is that only about $18 mil is fully guaranteed. So the other $16 mil is only currently guaranteed for injury. This is a good bit less than the $30 mil fully guaranteed McCaffrey got.

    Of that $18 mil, $15 mil is signing bonus which can be spread a max of 5 years. It seems they wanted it to start counting this year so that 2025 would have no dead money (currently; they may adjust things later). The rest is his salary for this year (about $1 mil) and next year ($2 mil).

    And the $25 mil in 2025 is completely for vanity's sake. He will never earn that as he'll be reworked or cut well before.

    So this really breaks down to a 5 year, roughly $52 mil deal if you count this year, or a 4 year, $48 mil deal if not.

    So in truth he is making either about $10-12 mil depending on if you count this year or not."
