A new subplot kicked off at New Orleans Saints training camp this week with news of C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s quasi-hold-in in pursuit of a new contract before the end of his four-year rookie deal. So what would an extension look like? To make a good guess, we did some research. It’s Aug. 4. Let’s compare some recent summertime Saints contract extensions and their guarantees:
- RT Ryan Ramczyk: signed on July 1, receiving $60 million of $96 million in guarantees (62.5%)
- WR Michael Thomas: signed on July 31, receiving $35.64 million of $96.25 million in guarantees (37.0%)
- RB Alvin Kamara: signed on Sept. 12, receiving $33.83 million of $75 million in guarantees (45.1%)
