The Arizona Cardinals re-signed quarterback David Blough to a one-year contract. Originally, he was set to be a restricted free agent but the Cardinals non-tendered him, declining to offer him a $2.67 million tender that would have allowed them to match any offer from another team.
His new contract receives the veteran benefit for the salary cap, according to Over the Cap.
His one-year deal is worth the league minimum of $1.08 million in salary. He receives a signing bonus of $76,250 and an guaranteed roster bonus of $76,250. That is likely tied to him making the 53-man roster.
In all, the total comes to a little more than $1.23 million, but it will count less than that against the salary cap. It qualifies for the veteran benefit, with a cap hit of almost $1.02 million. They receive cap savings of more than $216,000.
