Roethlisberger‘s new deal https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Mason-Crosby-Jersey , we guessed that he’d get a signing bonus of $45 million. We were off a bit, but also right on the money. Sort of.Per a league source, Roethlisberger’s signing bonus will be $37.5 million, and he’ll earn another $2.5 million this year. Added to the $5 million roster bonus earned in March, that’s a grand total of $45 million for 2019.The two extra years of the contract have a value of $68 million, which is higher than the number previously reported. So the new-money average is $34 million — $500,000 more than Aaron Rodgers‘ $33.5 million figure. Given the $17 million Roethliberger was due to make in 2019 Kyler Fackrell Jersey , the total value of the deal is $85 million over three years, an average of $28.33 million.That beats Kirk Cousins‘ average of $28 million on the three-year deal he signed with the Vikings a year ago. Given Cousins’ relative lack of accomplishments, it’s hard not to wonder whether beating Kirk’s three-year cash was a priority for Roethlisberger.

He registered 13 receptions for 146 yards and three touchdowns over that span, but with the arrival of free-agent tight end Jesse James and first-round selection T.J.
