Dez Bryant’s $1.25 million salary will be prorated to $600k for the rest of the year. He can also earn up to $500k more in incentives, but how hard those incentives will be to hit are unknown.
Dez could have made more money elsewhere, but on the flip side the Saints have a good chance at making the Super Bowl and if Dez can show he isn’t washed he will be able to make some of that money back up next season.
The gamble, of course, is if he doesn’t look great or doesn’t fit in with the Saints. If that is the case, then the market for his services would be slim and none.
