The Facts: When Vick signed with the Jets, it was widely reported that he'll get $5 million this year. The magnitude helped create the impression for some that he has a great chance at winning the job. The real numbers weren’t as widely reported. Per a source with knowledge of the actual deal, Vick is only guaranteed $4 million. Half comes from a signing bonus, and the other half comes from a fully-guaranteed 2014 base salary.

Diehards Line: Vick can, however, earn another $1 million, based on the playing time incentives included in his deal. He’ll make $100,000 if he takes 50 percent of the Jets’ offensive snaps, $300,000 for 60 percent, $550,000 for 70 percent, $900,000 for 80 percent and $1 million if he plays at least 90 percent. So, basically, he needs to play at least eight full games to get an extra $100,000. And he needs to play 14 or 15 games to get another $1 million. ...The best news for Vick is that the one-year deal gives him a shot at hitting the market again in 2015. And if he wins the starting job in New York this season and the Jets have some success, more money will come.
