The Detroit Lions added former Raiders cornerback Amik Robertson as one of the team’s top free agent additions in 2024. The contract details are now available for Robertson, who will be in the mix at outside cornerback for the new-look Lions secondary.
Robertson’s deal is a modest one. Per Over the Cap, the fifth-year cornerback signed for two years and $9.25 million. It comes with a $3.3 million signing bonus and $4.5 million guaranteed, which includes the full signing bonus and $1.2 million in salary in 2024. He will count $2.85 million in cap room in 2024.
That $1.2 million figure is Robertson’s full salary in 2024. Other than the $1.65 million amortization of the signing bonus, nothing else is guaranteed for the second year of the contract.
There is a $500,000 roster bonus for Robertson in 2025 payable on the fifth day of the league year, as well as a $50,000 workout bonus for next season. His $4.2 million base salary in 2025 features no guarantees, which means the Lions can cut bait without creating much dead money if Robertson doesn’t work out for the team.
