The Steelers re-signed Brett Keisel to a two year deal yesterday. As is almost always the case, the financial details weren’t immediately available, but I have them for you now. Here is a breakdown of his contract. The two year deal is for $3 Mil, including a $500K signing bonus.
Player | Year | Base Salary | Signing Bonus | Salary Cap Number | Dead Money | Savings If Cut |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Keisel, Brett | 2014 | $1,000,000 | $250,000 | $1,250,000 | $500,000 | $2,500,000 |
Keisel, Brett | 2015 | $1,500,000 | $250,000 | $1,750,000 | $250,000 | $1,500,000 |
As you can see, the deal is structured to make the veteran defensive lineman’s contract easily fungible next season.
