https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/inside-the-latest-deforest-buckner-deal Inside the latest DeForest Buckner deal By Mike Florio ...Here are the full details of the deal, per a source with knowledge of the terms: 1. Signing bonus: $18 million. 2. 2024 base salary: $2.25 million, fully guaranteed. 3. 2025 offseason roster bonus $10 million, fully guaranteed. 4. 2025 base salary: $13 million, fully guaranteed. 5. 2026 offseason roster bonus: $10 million. 6. 2026 base salary: $13 million. ($10 million of the 2026 compensation package is guaranteed for injury only at signing. It becomes fully guaranteed in 2025.) Most extensions aren’t truly extensions; the old deal is ripped up and a new deal takes its place. This deal is more like an extension, in that Buckner’s pay for 2024 remains the same as it was — $20.25 million. The practical guarantee is $53.25 million, since the $10 million injury guarantee for 2026 becomes fully guaranteed in 2025. The new-money average is $23 million. The total average at signing for the three-year contract is $22.08 million.

I'm not a McAfee guy, definitely not a Belichick guy, but I think I have to watch this. It might be the best draft show ever.

All it is for all of us. Yeah, I think we've been on the same page when it comes to Buckner and an extension for quite a while now. Also only so many spots, so if we were to bring in another vet safety, it likely means moving on from Thomas. Which at the end of the day, I'm ok with, as long as there is a vet upgrade. Don't see Cross, Scott or Blackmon going anywhere this year. Of course, saying that, it all depends on injuries as well never know how off-season programs and camp will pay out. Definitely more than I anticipated as well. Like you brought up originally though, this was last chance to use Buckner's contract for this purpose.

Sure, this makes it easier to handle a veteran signing after the draft, so if you still want one of the safeties or something, you're not getting squeezed. I've always thought that was on the table though, and when the time came, they'd make it work. I figured something would happen with Buckner eventually, but this is more than I expected. And that's probably just a 'might as well' kind of thing. I just don't think there's something big in the works. Not that I would know, it's just my opinion.
