The Facts: Via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY, Bridgewater’s one-year deal includes only $500,000 guaranteed, via his signing bonus. Bridgewater’s $5 million base salary is non-guaranteed. The deal also includes $9 million in incentives.

Diehards Line:PFT btained a full breakdown of the deal. Bridgewater also will earn a $500,00 workout bonus which increases the practical investment to $1 million. The $5 million base salary remains non-guaranteed. Still, the Jets have basically paid $1 million in exchange for the ability to evaluate Bridgewater throughout the offseason program, training camp, and the preseason before deciding whether to keep him on the active roster when the regular season begins, and the $5 million becomes at that point as a practical matter fully guaranteed. The chance that Bridgewater won’t see his $5 million base salary increases if the Jets pick a quarterback with the third overall choice in round one.
