Twitter: Jaylon's Packer salary is $770,000

Overpaid

That's about 770K too much

 

[DFWJC]

So he is getting about 5-6 million for the rest of the year

Of course, the Pack will pay him the minimum because Jaylen gets paid the same either way, as the Cowboys are on the hook for the rest.

From the Cowboys.

That's one way to look at it, but another way is the Cowboys are paying him to play for the Packers (lol)

I assume that's the prorated veteran minimum? The vet minimum for guys with his service is $990K. 13/17ths of that would be $757k.

 

[DFWJC]

From the Cowboys.

He'd get paid the same if the pack gave him 3 mil or .77 mil. The Cowboys have to pay the rest up to 6.2 mil or so.

The amount the Pack pay him is subtracted from what Dallas owes him

Low risk, low reward signing... It'll be interesting if he's in the rotation during the playoffs, I'd bet that he's waving and cheering from the sidelines

Overpaid

Suckers!

Were going to pay him to play for the packers lol

 

[zerofill]

Makes sense for them. Get a LB for cheap, and see if he works out. If he doesn't they didn't really lose anything.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Paying Jaylon 7$m to play for GB. Trust the process.

 

[ChuckA1]

The best way to look at this is the Cowboys are paying JS to end their contractual relationship with him. Good for both parties, all things considered.

 

[Stash]

Quite a 'bidding war' for his services.

 

[Bullflop]

That's good. Essentially, the more the Packers give him, the less we'll be obliged to pay. It works out OK for both sides, imho.

To be totally honest and up front, nobody expected them to pay nearly as much as we did, right? Right. All's well that ends well.

 

[CowboysDrew]

Good deal for the Packers, even if Jaylon continues to play at a lower level.

Honestly looks like everyone gets what they wanted. I'd rather the Cowboys paid him even if he was a backup since they're going to pay him anyway, but I suppose this was more about how the Cap works next year.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

When you really think about it, that's a lot of money. It tells me just bad they wanted him off the team for whatever reason.......
