The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Cameron has had three concussions in his NFL career; before he truly cashes in, he’ll need to prove that those issues are behind him.
Diehards Line:Cameron's new contract with the Dolphins pays him handsomely to do just that. Per a source with knowledge of the deal, Cameron will receive $5 million fully guaranteed on his two-year, $15 million contract, with $4 million to sign and a $1 million fully-guaranteed salary in 2015. The rest of his compensation for 2015 is tied to per-game roster bonuses. That would be a whopping $2.5 million, earned one game played at a time in the amount of $156,250 per game. So if he’s able to play, he cashes in — and the Dolphins become more likely to keep him around in 2016 at the other $7.5 million he’s due to be paid. ... For the record, Cameron used his introductory press conference in Miami to state that he’s had baseline testing done for six years and his brain shows no signs of long-term damage. “If it was a concern for me, I wouldn’t be here right now,” Cameron said, via Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald. Dolphins G.M. Dennis Hickey said the Dolphins are “very comfortable” that Cameron is healthy enough to play. As now he certainly is.
