    Congrats to DJ.

    $39 mil with $30 mil guaranteed.

    This contract helps him avoid the franchise tag in 2019 and 2020 which would have meant lower annual $ and less guaranteed $.

    He also will now have the chance to be a free agent after this contract when the new CBA and new TV contracts are in place which is to his advantage.

    Glad to see David Johnson got his extension. I see Fox is broadcasting tomorrow's Cardinals game. Unfortunately, in our market the Cowboys games is being shown not Arizona. Wish I could see DJ play more often.

    in any case, great news to see him get that settled before the season starts. (now if only the Arizona game was being shown here. Might have to head to BWW or something tomorrow afternoon)
    Through 2021 season.

    According to an article on the Cardinals' website, ESPN's Adam Schefter claims the total value can reach $45 million:

    The Arizona Cardinals have signed running back David Johnson to a three-year, $39 million extension, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

    The deal is worth up to $45 million and includes $30 million guaranteed, the source said.

    Johnson, a fourth-year running back, skipped a June minicamp and two organized team activity practices as he sought a contract extension. Johnson was heading into the final year of his rookie contract and scheduled to make $1.905 million in 2018."

    Looks like David Johnson has the cast off. Miss watching him play.

    doh!
    Did the Sports Illustrated curse strike again?
    That is EXACTLY what I feared when that SI cover came out.

    A cool interview with two UNI guys. I just got my ticket to Canton for Kurt's induction ceremony on the 5th.

    I *think* this is still in place ... it was set up a few years ago as part of the union negotiation and still in place last I checked.

    For drafted rookies, it is a required four-year contract (with a fifth-year option for first-round picks) and a required three-year contract for undrafted rookies. No contracts may be renegotiated in the first three years, then there is a window before year four to renegotiate.

    For those drafted in third through seventh rounds, there is a clause (the thought being that they perform better than expected as a lower draft pick) that kicks in based on a percentage of snaps on the field, not on performance (if that makes sense ... basically, DJ would get this if he hit that number of snaps on the field in seasons one and two and ignore the 30 or so TDs and yards from scrimmage). Actual performance incentives are kind of rare in rookie contracts.

    Unless that has changed, DJ is locked in for another season at the original contract.
    I think this is correct. A few guys have tried to hold out to negotiate better deals, but the team holds all the leverage. Also, NFL rookie contracts are slotted in terms of where you're taken (1st vs 33rd vs 120, etc.). There's very little negotiation room left for rookies entering the league.

    I remember seeing some article/story/social media blurb that basically agreed with this. It said something along the lines that by the time Arizona was allowed to renegotiate a contract with DJ (because of the rules in the bargaining agreement/union/whatever), he was going to get crazy rich.
