Pat Yasinskas, ESPN: Hayden has a $685,000 base salary and got a $50,000 signing bonus. Since he signed for the veteran minimum, the Falcons get a salary-cap break. Instead of costing $735,000 against the cap, Hayden will only take up $575,000 worth of cap space.

Len Pasquarelli, AJC: reports that the first two years of Bobby Hebert's three-year, $ 10.4 million contract are guaranteed have proven erroneous. There is language in the contract that allows the Falcons to walk away from the final two seasons of the deal next March 1. If they opt not to do that, the second year is guaranteed. Hebert's base salaries, according to the NFL Players Association, are $ 2.7 million this season ($ 1 million of that in a salary advance), $ 3.5 million in '94 and $ 4.2 million in '95.
Len Pasquarelli, AJC: Hebert's one-year contract is believed to be worth about $ 1 million, with additional bonuses based on playing time. The original three-year contract Hebert signed last April with the Falcons called for a base salary this year of $ 3.5 million.
Len Pasquarelli, AJC: The one-year, $ 750,000 deal came a day before the nine-year veteran, an unrestricted free agent, was scheduled to visit the Detroit Lions… Hebert, 34, will receive a $ 375,000 signing bonus and a base salary of $ 375,000.
Len Pasquarelli, AJC: The Falcons weren't the only ones who got some security with a contract that will pay Hebert $ 800,000, half of that as a signing bonus… If the 10-year veteran becomes the starter and Atlanta makes the playoffs, the contract will total $ 3.05 million.

Len Pasquarelli, AJC: the Atlanta Falcons on Friday night signed fullback Craig Heyward to a two- year contract extension worth at least $ 2 million… The extension will pay Heyward a signing bonus of $ 700,000 and base salaries of $ 600,000 ('95) and $ 700,000 ('96). There are also weigh-in incentives that can add significantly to the contract.
Len Pasquarelli, AJC: Heyward agreed to a one-year contract extension (through 1997) Tuesday and the arrangement created about $ 250,000 in salary cap room for the Falcons. Scheduled to earn $ 700,000 in base salary this year, Heyward will have $ 504,000 of that converted to a signing bonus and lower the salary to $ 196,000. There is an option year for '97 at a base salary of $ 2 million.

With a first-year salary cap value of $141,000, the contract is one of the best deals negotiated to date for a player taken in the fifth round.

Mike Florio, PFT: Jackson received a $250,000 signing bonus and a new $250,000 roster bonus for 2007. The roster bonus is due on September 7; thus, if Jackson is cut before then, he won't get it. At the same time, his base salary was reduced from $1.5 million to $1 million. So, for now, he merely received a $250,000 advance on his 2007 pay. Also, a $2 million roster bonus was added to his 2008 compensation, due on the first day of the league year. It means that either Jackson will get the money, or he'll get a shot at hitting the open market in March. For next season, his base salary was reduced from $1.5 million to $1.0 million. The Falcons also added a year to the deal, with a $2 million roster bonus due on the first day of the 2009 league year, and a $1 million base salary. So, as a practical matter, Jackson extended his commitment by a year and can make an extra $4.5 million in roster bonuses and salary. (There's also a $1.25 million escalator provision, but as we see it the higher his salary goes the greater the likelihood that he gets cut loose.)

Jason LaCanfora, NFL.com: Pick No. 24, Falcons DT Peria Jerry, landed a max of $13.25 million over five years, with $7.55 million guaranteed
Brian McIntyre, Scout.com: Jerry has a base salary of $310,000 in 2009, and received a guaranteed roster bonus of $890,000 during training camp, resulting in his $1.2M cap number for this season. Jerry currently has $6.305M in base salary from 2010-14, $5.71M of which is fully guaranteed, though once the Falcons exercise a $4.42M option bonus in 2010 (prorated from 2010-13), those base salaries reduce to $395,000 (2010), $695,000 (2011), $845,000 (2012), and $905,000 (2013). Once the option bonus is exercised, his base salaries from 2010-12 are fully guaranteed, though a very attainable $1.89M “not likely to be earned” incentive that would void all but $45,000 of his base salary guarantee in 2010. By reaching certain playing time percentages and team qualifiers, Jerry’s base salary in 2013 can increase by as much as $2.9M.
Vaughn McClure, ESPN: The team signed him to a one-year contract this offseason at a low-risk price of $890,000. His base salary would have been $730,000.

Len Pasquarelli, AJC: Kennedy… will report to Suwanee tonight to sign the three-year, $3.018 million contract. According to information obtained through the NFL Players Association, the unique contract will pay Kennedy a signing bonus of $150,000, a reporting bonus of $665,000 and a base salary of $100,000 this season. In 1994, Kennedy will earn a base salary of $956,250, with $500,000 of that gu aranteed. In '95, the base salary rises to $1,147,500.
Len Pasquarelli, AJC: the Falcons made Kennedy, a first-round choice in 1993, a minimum contract tender of $361,000 to retain a right of first refusal on the restricted free agent. But to keep Kennedy beyond June 1, Section 2/Paragraph (i) of the CBA stipulates Atlanta would have to raise that tender to 110 percent of his '95 salary - or about $1.26 million.
