Mike Florio, PFT: the future Hall of Famer received $500,000 in guaranteed money as part of his two-year deal with the Saints. Initially reported as being worth “up to” $7 million, the contract pays out a base amount of $1.75 million in 2014 and $2 million in 2015, for a base value of $3.75 million. To get the base amount in 2014, Bailey must be on the game-day roster for six or more games. If he is, he gets $250,000. If not, he will have made $1.5 million in 2014. In 2015, the Saints owe a $250,000 roster bonus on the fifth day of the league year. Bailey gets another $250,000 if he’s on the 53-man roster for the first game of the 2015 season. The base salary is $1.5 million. The deal also contains $150,000 in incentives per year based on interceptions, and $150,000 per year for Pro Bowl. He can make $1.2 million in 2014 or 2015 for playing time, and the deal includes a $1.2 million playing-time escalator for 2015. If the NFLPA numbers are right, that’s a maximum value of $6.75 million…

Bill Williamson, St. Paul Pioneer Press: the New Orleans Saints and agents for Bouman, who will back up Aaron Brooks, agreed to a new contract for this season, the final year of a three-year contract Bouman signed with the Vikings in 2001.Bouman, 30, will earn $1 million from the Saints for the 2003 season, a reduction from the $1.8 million he would have made with the Vikings. That includes a $1 million roster bonus he was due April 1. The teams agreed to the trade Wednesday contingent on the Saints redoing the contract. The Vikings, who likely were going to release Bouman before his roster bonus was due, will receive a sixth-round pick in return.

Bob McGinn, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Brees is coming off major surgery on his right shoulder but that didn't stop the Saints from lavishing him with a six-year, $60 million deal ($8 million signing bonus, $12 million option bonus).
Andrew Brandt, NFP: Brees, ever the helpful teammate, converted more than half his $9.8M salary this year into a signing bonus, giving the cap-needy Saints $3.4M in cap room. This restructure, however, did not affect the remaining three years of the deal, as Brees is under contract through 2011
Pat Yasinksas, ESPN: Drew Brees and Jahri Evans each are scheduled to receive $200,000 [workout] bonuses [in 2011]
Aaron Wilson, Scout.com: The New Orleans Saints' $1.656 million in salary-cap room includes a $16.371 million cap figure for QB Drew Brees…
Mike Florio, PFT: Brees, per a source with knowledge of the deal, will receive a $37 million signing bonus and a $3 million base salary in 2012. The full signing bonus will be paid out within the next six months. The $40 million paid in 2012 is fully guaranteed. For now, $20 million beyond 2012 is guaranteed for injury only. Next year, on the third day of the waiver period (typically, the third day after the Super Bowl), $15 million of the injury guarantee becomes fully guaranteed. The extra $5 million remains guaranteed for injury only. In 2015, again on the third day of the waiver period, more than half of his $19 million base salary becomes fully guaranteed. Ditto for 2016; on the third day of the waiver period, more than half of the $20 million base salary becomes fully guaranteed… In all, he’ll receive $40 million this year, $10 million in 2013, $11 million in 2014, $19 million in 2015, and $20 million in 2016.

Mike Florio, PFT: A league source tells us that the New Orleans Saints have signed first-round offensive tackle Jammal Brown to a five-year deal worth up to $11 million. Brown will receive $8.5 million in first year compensation via option boni worth $6.95 million, a 2005 roster bonus of $1.24 million, and a one-time bonus of $80,000. Year five contains a $3.5 million escalator.
Michael David Smith, PFT: The Redskins will send either their third-round pick or their fourth-round pick to Philly in 2011 to finalize the McNabb trade, based on whether certain triggers are met in 2010. Whichever of those picks the Redskins don't send to the Eagles, they'll send to the Saints. In return, the Saints will send the Redskins either their 2011 fifth-round pick (if they get the Redskins' third-round pick) or their 2011 sixth- or seventh-round pick (if they get the Redskins' fourth-round pick). There's also a chance of a 2012 sixth-round pick coming into play, if Brown plays 90 percent of the snaps or makes the Pro Bowl.

2017 .125 NLTBE (Pro Bowl)
Mike Triplett, ESPN: The Saints signed Browner to a three-year, $15 million contract that comes with a 2015 cap cost of just $2.4 million. The deal includes $7.75 in fully-guaranteed money, including a $3.9 million signing bonus and fully guaranteed base salaries of $1.1 million in 2015 and $2.75 million in 2016. But the contract also includes more playing-time incentives than most deals. If Browner is active for all 16 games, he’ll earn exactly $5 million in each of his three seasons. He has base salaries of $2.75 million in both 2016 and 2017, plus $750,000 roster bonuses due in March in each of those years. Then he can earn up to $750,000 more each year in weekly bonuses for being on the 53-man roster – plus another $750,000 each year in weekly bonuses for being on the active 46-man roster. The deal also includes up to $500,000 in “not likely to be earned” bonuses in both 2015 and 2017 based on playing time and making the Pro Bowl – which could bump the total value up to $16 million over three years, if reached.
Nick Underhill, The Advocate: The deal also contains $375,000 in playtime incentives in 2015 and 2017 and a $125,000 Pro Bowl in 2015 and 2017. Both of these are listed as “not likely to be earned” incentives. His cap hits in each of the three years are $2.4 million, $6.3 million, and $6.3 million, respectively.

Pat Yasinskas, ESPN: The deal averages $4.5 million a season and includes a $4.5 million signing bonus … Bunkley helped the Saints out by accepting a base salary of $700,000 this year and spreading out large chunks of money over the rest of the contract. In 2013, Bunkley has a $3.7 million base salary that’s fully guaranteed. In 2014, Bunkley’s salary jumps to $4.4 million and it stays there for the final two years of the deal. Bunkley also has a $100,000 workout bonus each year, starting in 2013. He also has escalator clauses that could drive up his base salary in any season, starting next year.
Mike Triplett, Times-Picayune: Bunkley's new deal drops his cap number to $2.5 million in 2013. Bunkley was slated to make $3.7 million in base salary. The Saints cut his base salary to $750,000 and turned the other $3 million into signing bonus that will be spread through the next four seasons.
Aaron Wilson, NFP: It amounted to a $2.85 million paycut for Bunkley. Bunkley restructured his deal on Monday, receiving $300,000 guaranteed in a roster bonus due Thursday as his base salary for this year was lowered from $4.4 million to $1.3 million with his salary-cap figure down to $3.62 million for 2014. There's up to $350,000 in an escalator clause this year. In 2015, he's still due a $4.4 million base salary with a $6.112 million salary-cap figure and a $100,000 workout bonus and up to $450,000 in an escalator clause. In 2016, he has a $4.4 million base salary, a $100,000 workout bonus and up to $800,000 in an escalator clause.
