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

[pete026]

I can hear the Billy Beane/ David Justice discussion from here.

First thing I thought of when I heard he signed with GB. Posted the youtube video in the other thread.

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.

sad but true ----Jerry pays for a loser

 

[dallasdave]

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.

All is well except all the money Dallas is paying him

 

[dallasdave]

Quite a 'bidding war' for his services.

A flashing blue light special at the old K mart

 

[tunahelper]

That's about 770K too much

Saving 9 million on the backend.

 

[mrmojo]

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

I see what you did...good one.

 

[yentl911]

Good guy but I’d pay that much to have him gone

 

[RicKospia]

Show me the Money !

 

[streetcredit]

That's about 770K too much

About $1 million too much, he should pay to play...if he plays like he did for Cowboys, he will be cut before week 10

 

[Verdict]

I wish you guys would respect LVE’s wishes and not discuss Jaylon’s salary.

This is their livelihood.

Is this satire?

 

[ultron]

We should just have a Jaylon sub forum - this is getting ridiculous.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Business decision was made by both parties

 

[MichiganCowboyFan]

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

we are paying him to screw up their run defense and make their defense worse and frustrate Smugface some more. Good investment

 

[stilltheguru]

Since hes playing for another contract he might play like a real linebacker again.

 

[Ranched]

The Cowboys owe Smith the remainder of his $7.2 million base salary this year.

Oh, and all those #9 SMITH jerseys. What a bad egg he has was.

 

[MichiganCowboyFan]

Since hes playing for another contract he might play like a real linebacker again.

His drop foot leg is shot. He'll never be his ND self again or even 2018. He's a cooked rooster running with his head cut off.

 

[Killerinstinct]

Jerry really sh!t the bed on this contract.

 

[Runwildboys]

A bigger reason is that they said yes

 

[CWR]

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.

Yeah and apparently he had an injury last offseason (wrist?) which is why he remained on the roster to start the year, because of the clause we couldn't release him earlier without guaranteed money hitting for this season regardless.

There was some confusion about that, however the article I had just finished reading pointed out why we didn't release him sooner, if it was about cap.

Stephen need to hire a law firm for that 770k to advise him during contracts
