Veteran wide receiver Marvin Jones returned to the Detroit Lions this offseason after two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jones, now wearing No. 0, played for the Lions from 2016-2020 and experienced a lot of success.
Jones signed a one-year deal with the Lions with a base salary of $3 million. The deal is laden with many incentives that can earn Jones quite a bit more money. Ari Merov of The 33rd Team obtained the details of all the incentive clauses and bonuses
Per Merov, these are the 2023 season incentives in Jones’ contract with Detroit.
55 receptions – $200,000
65 receptions – $200,000
75 receptions – $200,000
700 yards receiving – $200,000
850 yards receiving – $200,000
1,000 yards receiving – $300,000
5 receiving TDs – $200,000
7 receiving TDs – $200,000
10 receiving TDs – $300,000
Last year in Jacksonville, Jones caught 46 passes for 529 yards and three TDs. A repeat of those figures would mean the 33-year-old Jones won’t hit any of his incentives. In his last season in Detroit, Jones posted 76 receptions for 978 yards and nine TDs. That output would earn Jones $600,000 with his new deal for the Lions.
