Defensive end Corey Liuget signed a five year, $51.25 million contract extension with the San Diego Chargers earlier this week and thanks to Michael Gehlken of The San Diego Union-Tribune, we now know what the structure of that deal likely looks like it.
Liuget, who was drafted 18th overall in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Chargers, received a $7.5 million signing bonus as part of his new deal. While it’s being reported that $30.477 million of his deal is guaranteed, over half of that is guaranteed from injury only. In reality, Liuget received $13.977 million in full guarantees and that consist of his signing bonus, his $1 million first year base salary and his $5.477 million first year roster bonus, which was reportedly paid to him on Friday.
Liuget stands to earn a virtually guaranteed $5.5 million roster bonus next offseason as long as he’s still with the team on the third day of the new league year.
If you look at Liuget’s deal as being a five-year extension that included $51.25 in new money, he will average $10.25 million a season. The deal signed by New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan a few weeks ago, had a new money average of $11 million per year, so there’s a good chance the contract extension that Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward will sign between now and the start of the regular season will result in a new money average of around $10-10.5 million.
