They could all be free agents at year's end.

What kind of numbers are you talking about?

For Daniel Jones...if he continues to play well...I guess they could look at Sam Darnold's Seattle contract as a blue print.

Darnold's contract looks like:

Sam Darnold signed a 3 year, $100,500,000 contract with the Seattle Seahawks, including $32,000,000 signing bonus, $55,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $33,500,000. In 2025, Darnold will earn a base salary of $5,300,000, a signing bonus of $32,000,000 and a workout bonus of $200,000, while carrying a cap hit of $13,400,000 and a dead cap value of $37,700,000.

Potential Out after 2 years: spending $65,000,000; with $19,200,000 DEAD CAP hit

$37.5M guaranteed at signing (signing bonus + 2025 salary/bonus)
2026 Roster Bonus: $15M (guarantees the 5th waiver period day of 2026)
$2.5M of of 2026 salary guarantees the 5th waiver period day of 2026
2027 Roster Bonus: $10M (5th league day of 2027)
2028-29 years automatically void 23 days before the 2028 league year
