It’s rare that a player needs to have a great season before even taking a single snap with the team. But that’s the case with tight end Eric Ebron. He was the recipient of a backloaded contract meaning if he doesn’t play well in 2020, he’ll be cut after the season in a cost-saving measure. This is what it looks like: Ebron’s contract pays him $1 million in base salary this year with a $5 million signings bonus which is prorated over the two years of his contract. In 2021, Ebron would earn a $5.5 million salary and get paid a $500,000 if he’s on the roster on the fifth day of the league year.
