Yep, it's 19 million in the first year. The ESPN link says it now (if it didn't earlier). That's the best part of the deal. It'll keep the cap # under control in subsequent seasons.

to Benson for opening the checkbook a little more often. This is just another example

He can afford to open his wallet a little more. I guess the extra $15 for season tickets paid off.

Now he needs to step up and pay Pierre like a champ.

Meh. I like him, but they need to worry about Brees, Nicks, and Porter soon.

yeah we should spread the money out to later years that are capped because only QBs deserve money

So his cap value in years two and three is slightly over $3 million

That's a crazy good deal

Benson gets it.... Evans protects Brees, Brees wins superbowls. Smart move

Must disagree. With Finks in the 80's ...he could eat dirt and crap diamonds.

To think he went to Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania on an academic scholarship. Smart and Talented. Congrats to Evans.
