Aug 14, 2020
We knew running back officially signed with the New England Patriots as of Thursday. Now we know how much they paid him.
Miller signed a one-year deal with a $1.05 million base salary, $200,000 in guarantees and $1.5 million in achievable incentives, according to ESPN's Field Yates.
Because Lamar Miller spent the entire 2019 season on injured reserve, any active roster bonuses and incentives for the 2020 season will be classified as NLTBE, which makes his cap number $1.05 million, according to Patriots cap expert Miguel Benzan.
New England's deal with Miller makes the veteran running back a low-risk investment for the six-time Super Bowl champions. If they get a high-level of production from him then Miller will earn about $2.7 million this season. If Miller can't produce a season after tearing his ACL, then New England can cut ties with the 29 year old and not suffer a significant financial setback. With over $32 million in cap space, the team opted to go with value, as they always do, at a position that has their top running back - Sony Michel - sidelined for the beginning of training camp.
