Contract Notes

Tony Jefferson signed a $34 million contract with the Ravens on March 11, 2017. Jefferson received $19 million in full guarantees, including a $10 million signing bonus. The maximum value of the contract is $37 million.

Following the second game of the season, Jefferson agreed to reduce his salary to the minimum with the balance paid as a signing bonus to provide the Ravens salary cap relief. The move created $1.47 million in cap room for Baltimore and increases Jefferson's cap charges by just under $491,000 in each of the remaining contract years.

The Ravens converted $5 million of Jefferson's 2019 salary to a signing bonus for cap relief. The move reduced Jefferson's 2018 salary cap charge by $3.33 million. His 2019 and 2020 salary cap numbers will increase by $1.67 million.
