The Jacksonville Jaguars have been known to find a gem or two in undrafted free agency, and fans are hoping that can continue this year. One player who the team has high hopes for is former Brown University quarterback EJ Perry, who signed with the team last week after initially agreeing to join Philadelphia.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Jags gave the undrafted rookie a significant amount of guaranteed money, including a $23K signing bonus. Additionally, the contract is set to pay him $207K in total guarantees, bringing his fully guaranteed amount to $230K.
The #Jaguars gave QB E.J. Perry $230,000 guaranteed — a $23K signing bonus and $207K salary guarantee.
Perry initially agreed with the #Eagles, who gave QB Carson Strong a $320K guarantee, including a $20K bonus.
Two of the biggest guarantees for undrafted players this year.
