Len Pasquarelli, ESPN: Babin got a signing bonus of $2.2 million, a second-tier option bonus of $1.275 million and a report bonus of $150,000. Counting his 2004 base salary of $456,000, Babin will earn $4.081 million in the first full year of his contract… the rest of the breakdown on Babin's deal includes: base salaries of $456,000 (2004), $757,500 (2005), $909,000 (2006), $1.061 million (2007), $1.212 million (2008) and $1.364 million (2009). If the Texans exercise the '09 option by paying the second-tier bonus of $1.275 million, the base salaries then reduce to $432,500 (2005), $584,000 (2006), $735,500 (2007), $887,000 (2008) and $1.0385 million (2009).

Vito Stellino, Florida Times-Union: Since the Texans don't know whether Boselli will play again, they reduced his base salary from $4.5 million to $665,000 -- although he'll still get a $2 million roster bonus March 1. Boselli can earn the money back in incentives, depending on whether he plays. He earns $500,000 if he plays 20 percent of the plays and another $500,000 for every increase of 10 percent of playing time after that.

Bowden, who is coming off the best season of his four-year career, gets a $1 million signing bonus and base salaries of $500,000, $900,000, $1.2 million and $1.4 million. Because his signing bonus is prorated over the life of the contract, Bowden's 1996 salary-cap figure will be $750,000.

Len Pasquarelli, ESPN: The seven-year, $46.25 million contract that Fresno State quarterback David Carr officially signed over the weekend voids after four seasons, provided he reaches any of a number of predetermined performance benchmarks. However, it allows the Houston Texans to "buy back" the voided years and retain the first overall selection in the 2002 draft beyond the initial four-year period… the initial signing bonus for the contract is $10.92 million. Carr will earn a base salary of $1.04 million for 2002. On March 1, 2003, he is due an option bonus of $3.08 million… Carr's base salaries after his rookie season are $550,000 (for 2003), $660,000 (2004) and $5.5 million (2005).

At that point, unless Carr is a total bust or has suffered a catastrophic injury, the 2006-2008 seasons will be voided. The Texans then have two options. They can "buy back" either two or three of the voided seasons. Under the two-season scenario, Houston would pay a bonus of $5.5 million and Carr's base salaries would become $5 million for 2006 and $5.25 million for 2007. If the team opts to "buy back" three years, it would require a bonus of $8 million and base salaries would be $5.25 million for each of the 2006 and 2007 campaigns and $6 million for the 2008 season.

Carr can also earn "escalators" -- clauses that raise his scheduled base salaries -- starting with the 2004 season by finishing in the top five in the league in any of the five most prominent statistical categories for a quarterback.

John McClain, Houston Chronicle: After missing the first two days of Texans training camp before agreeing to a five-year, $14 million contract Saturday, outside linebacker Brian Cushing is eager to get on the practice field today with his new teammates. Cushing, the first-round draft choice from Southern California, is getting $10.435 million in guaranteed money to become the starter on the strong side and help improve a defense that ranked 22nd last season, including 23rd against the run... Cushing’s contract could be worth a maximum of $18 million over five years. In the fifth year of his deal, there’s a clause that could earn him an additional $4 million in an escalator bonus.

Andrew Brandt, NFP: The Houston linebacker has already earned most of this guarantee. He earned the roster bonus as of Aug. 7 of last year and the salary throughout the 2009 season. And having played in 35 percent of the Texans’ defensive plays last year, he earned the $2.919M one-time incentive, to be paid within 15 days of the opening of training camp this season. The $6M option bonus has also been earned, with half paid. The Texans exercised the option in March, triggering a $3M payment to Cushing on the 20th day of the 2010 league year (March 25), with the other $3M due March 15, 2011.

The fifth-year (2013) escalator in his contract is an area where this could get interesting. Cushing has a potential $800,000 tied to Pro Bowls. The qualifiers are: If he participates in 70 percent of defensive plays in two of his first four seasons and makes one Pro Bowl (which he now has), 2013 escalates by $250,000; Or if he participates in 70 percent of defensive plays in three of his first four seasons and makes two Pro Bowls, 2013 escalates by $450,000; Or if he participates in 70 percent of defensive plays in all four seasons prior to 2013 and makes three Pro Bowls, 2013 escalates by $800,000.

Gil Brandt, NFL.com: Cushing’s rookie contract included a $2.219 million bonus for which the ROY award was just one of a few performance-based goals that served as a trigger. Even without the award, Cushing met other incentives that triggered that bonus. That said, there are more lucrative escalators in the contract that could be affected — and could cost Cushing as much as $2.6 million. These escalators increase the value of the contract if Cushing plays 80 percent of the team’s defensive snaps and makes the Pro Bowl in three of the first four years of the contract. He reached both of those goals as a rookie, but his four-game drug suspension for the start of the 2010 season also disqualifies him from next year’s Pro Bowl and makes it highly unlikely that he will reach the 80 percent mark in total plays. That means he’d have to reach those goals in 2011 and again in 2012 to earn that $2.6 million in the fifth year — an uphill climb for what seemed like a very attainable goal just a few months ago.

Jason La Canfora, CBS Sports: Cushing, who has been suspended for violating the NFL's policy on performance enhancing drugs in the past and who is coming off season-ending surgery, will make $10.149 million this season, including a $9 million signing bonus, and his $2 million salary

for 2014 is guaranteed for skill, injury and cap purposes… Cushing's $6 million option bonus in 2014 is not guaranteed and if the Texans do not exercise it, then a future year of his deal becomes guaranteed for $6 million -- but for injury only… beyond 2014 base salaries are guaranteed for injury only, and he gets a $78,125 bonus for each game he is active (which he would be as long as he is healthy and not suspended).

Tania Ganguli, ESPN: the deal included a $9 million signing bonus and $21 million in guarantees overall. It also has a $6 million option bonus, with 2019 an option year that has to be picked up by 2014. His base salaries of $2 million in 2014 and $4 million in 2015 are guaranteed. The 2014 base is guaranteed for skill, injury and cap, which means if they release him for any reason he still gets the guaranteed base. The 2015 base is only guaranteed for injury, which shows faith in his ability to stay healthy. Cushing's base goes up to $5 million in 2016, but it increases to $6 million if the Texans don't pick up the option year. And each year of the deal he has a per-game roster bonus that totals $1.25 million. The cap numbers are $4.449 million this year, $5.390 million next year, $8.25 million in 2015, $9.25 million in 2016, $9.75 million in 2017, $9.7 million in 2018, and $9.5 million in 2019.

Davis gets a $5 million signing bonus and the same $380,000 base salary — the minimum for a third-year player — he was scheduled to make in his original contract. Beginning in 2006, Davis' base salaries are $1.7 million, $3.34 million, $4.180 million and $4.55 million. Davis will be paid a $1.2 million option bonus in March. He'll also receive an $800,000 roster bonus next year. Davis' new contract takes up $1 million more in salary-cap space.

PFT: Amid rumors that he could be released, Texans running back Ahman Green has taken a huge paycut, agreeing to slash his base salary from $3.8 million to $1.8 million.He also gave up a $500,000 bonus. In exchange, Green will have the ability to earn back more than that, if he is able to perform. Specifically, he’ll get $200,000 for each game that he’s available to play after Week One. That equates to a maximum bonus of $3 million — more than he has given up in essentially guaranteed money.

Jason La Canfora, NFL.com: The new deal added two years to the existing contract and put a maximum of $38 million in new money in the deal, with it now reaching a max of $73.5 million over seven years. Johnson will make $10 million in 2010 -- his previous base salary was $5.8 million -- with $2.8 million coming as a signing bonus. Johnson is also guaranteed $13 million as part of the deal.

The new thresholds are predicated on Johnson placing in the top five or top 10 in one of the four major receiving categories -- receptions, receiving yards, touchdowns and average per catch -- each season. There are three tiers to the contract. If Johnson hits none of the new thresholds, he would earn $62.7 million over seven years ($8.9 million per year). If he hits the

top-10 tier he would earn $68.5 million over seven years ($9.7 million average), and if he hits the top-5 tier the then the max is $73.5 million ($10.5 million per year).

In addition, Johnson's old deal included $200,000 per year in workout bonuses, but those have been restructured to a maximum of $1 million per year. In order to hit those Johnson must take part in 90 percent of the offseason program and all minicamps and training camps, which works as protection against a holdout.

The five remaining years of Johnson's contract had been worth a maximum of $35 million. In the first five years of the new deal, if Johnson fails to finish in the top five or 10 in those categories, he would earn just an additional $4.2 million. If he finished in the top 10 every year, he would earn $45 million over five years ($9 million average), and if he hits the top-5 tier every year he would earn $50 million over five years ($10 million).

Jason La Canfora, NFL.com: Johnson converted his base salary ($6.5 million) to a bonus and spread it out over a number of years.

Brian McIntyre, Yahoo Sports: Johnson triggered a $3.3 million escalator in his contract and is now scheduled to earn $9.5 million in base salary in 2013.

John McClain, Houston Chronicle: Johnathan Joseph agreed to a five-year contract worth $48.75 million, including $23.5 million guaranteed and a $12.5 million signing bonus

Brian McIntyre, Yahoo Sports: Signed to a five-year, $48.75 million contract after the 2011 lockout, Joseph was scheduled to earn $7.25 million in base salary this season, $5.5 million of which was fully guaranteed… the Texans and Joseph agreed to convert $5 million of Joseph's base salary into a signing bonus that will be prorated ($1.25 million per year) over the next four seasons. The restructure lowered Joseph's base salary to $2.25 million ($500,000 was fully guaranteed upon the restructure, but as a vested veteran, the entire amount is now fully guaranteed) and his 2012 cap number decreased from $9.75 million to $6 million, a savings of $3.75 million this season. The flipside of the restructure is that Joseph's cap numbers in 2013-15 has increased by $1.25 million, with his cap hits going from $10 million to $11.25 million in both 2013 and 2014 and reaching $12.25 million in 2015.

John McClain, Houston Chronicle: The Texans are not guaranteeing quarterback Matt Leinart $3.75 million to be the third-team quarterback for the second consecutive season. By getting Leinart to agree to a two-year contract worth $5.5 million, the Texans have shown they are planning to use him as the backup quarterback behind Matt Schaub.

Mike Klis, Denver Post: The only backup quarterback who got a better deal on the free-agent market is Dan Orlovsky, who signed a three- year, $9 million contract with a $2.4 million bonus with Houston.

John McClain, Houston Chronicle: Orlovsky’s restructured deal calls for him to make a base salary of $850,000 — a reduction from $2.25 million. He can make up the difference by earning $25,000 for every game he’s the No. 2 quarterback. Orlovsky also can earn $100,000 for every game he’s the starting quarterback — a maximum of 10 games and $1 million. Orlovsky was scheduled to earn $2.75 million next season. Instead, he’ll receive a base salary of $1.375 million. He can earn back the difference if he’s No. 2 for one game this season.

Mike Florio, PFT: Ryans, the first pick in round two, will receive a $1.425 million signing bonus on a four-year deal… there's also a $650,000 one-time NLTBE based on minimum playing time and a team qualifier, and there's a $475,000 NLTBE roster bonus based on minimum playing time and a team qualifier, if Ryans is on the the Texans' roster the first day of the 2008 league year. (If the NLTBE incentives aren't reached, Ryans has more than $1.1 million in guaranteed salary from 2007 through 2009.)… Ryans also can earn a 2009 salary escalator of up to $550,000 based on the number of years in which he participates in at least 90 percent of the defensive snaps.

John McClain, Houston Chronicle: Ryans gets six-year deal for $48 million. He gets a signing bonus of $7.5 million, and his first-year base salary is $7 million guaranteed.

John McClain, Houston Chronicle: So what do you think about middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans' new six-year, $48 million contract that pays him $14.5 million this year, guarantees him $21.75 million and allows him to earn as much as $26.3 million in the first three years -- or $26.9 million if he earns a $200,000 Pro Bowl bonus each season?

Brian McIntyre, MacsFootballBlog.com: a six-year, $46.8 million contract extension

John McClain, Houston Chronicle: By trading linebacker DeMeco Ryans to Philadelphia, the Texans will receive a fourth-round pick from the Eagles and exchange third-round selections in next month’s draft. The Texans get the fourth pick in the fourth round. Philadelphia got it in a trade with Tampa Bay. By switching positions in the third round, the Texans move up 12 spots and have the 77th overall pick and the Eagles’ the 89th.

Brian McIntyre, MacsFootballBlog.com: Before he was traded by the Houston Texans to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a fourth round draft pick this week, middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans restructured the 2012 season of his current contract, a league source confirmed on Thursday. Scheduled to receive a $5.9 million base salary this season, Ryans reduced his salary to $4.45 million and received the remainder -- $1.45 million -- as a bonus, which would have reduced his cap number with the Texans by over $1 million for 2012. The rest of Ryans'

contract remains unchanged. In addition to his $4.45 million base salary in 2012, Ryans is scheduled to earn $6.6 million in base salary in 2013, with $6.8 million base salaries to follow in both 2014 and 2015.

Alan Burge, Examiner.com: The Texans didn't just "give" Matt Schaub $48 million. They gave him $4.5 million on or about May 15, 2007 as a signing bonus. They gave him $2.5 million on or about May 15, 2007 as a roster bonus. He earned a $50,000 workout bonus during summer camps in 2007. He earned a $950,000 base salary in 2007. He earned a $50,000 workout bonus during the summer camps in 2008. He is scheduled to earn $4.95 million in base salary in '08. He is scheduled to earn $6.95 million in base salary in '09… the Texans are "only" obligated to pay Schaub a total of $19.95 million through next season if they choose not to exercise the OPTION to extend Schaub's contract three more years from 2010-'12… Schaub would receive another $10 million dollar option bonus at some point following the '09 season and would be on track to earn that full $48 million over 6 years.

Mike Florio, PFT: Schaub received $17.5 million to sign. He’ll also receive a base salary of $4.4 million in 2012, a fully guaranteed base salary of $7.25 million in 2013, a base salary of $10 million in 2014, a base salary of $12.5 million in 2015, and a base salary of $14.5 million in 2016.

It works out to $66.15 million over five years. With, as a practical matter, $29.15 million guaranteed.

Factoring in the $7.15 million base salary Schaub already was due to earn, it works out to $59 million in new money on the four new years of the deal, an average of $14.75 million per year.

The clearest protection against injury comes from $1 million per year in per-game roster bonuses, spread over 2014 through 2016. That’s on top of the $59 million in new money, pushing it to a total of $62 million.

John McClain, Houston Chronicle: Kevin Walter's contract is five years, $21.5 million with 8 million guaranteed.

Fox Sports: The five-year contract Kevin Walter signed with the Texans this offseason contains $11 million guaranteed, including all of his 2011 base salary. The contract was initially reported to contain $8 million guaranteed (Walter's initial $5 million roster bonus and $3 million 2010 salary), but he's going to be a Texan through at least 2011.

Brian McIntyre, MacsFootballBlog.com: Walter, 31, was scheduled to earn $3.5 million in base salary with a $4.5 million salary cap number in each of the three remaining seasons on his current contract. On March 16, Walter agreed to reduce his salary to $2 million, lowering his cap number for this season to $3 million. The final two years on Walter's contract (2013-14) were unchanged.

John McClain, Houston Chronicle: He got a four-year contract worth $11.23 million, all guaranteed under the new CBA. He received a signing bonus of $6.67 million.

John McClain, Houston Chronicle: Watt’s six-year, $100 million contract extension that includes $51.876 in guaranteed money makes him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history… Watt received a $10 million signing bonus. He gets a $10 million roster bonus in March. For cap relief, the 2015 roster bonus can be converted into signing bonus, depending on the Texans’ cap situation next year… Watt’s base salary this year changed from $1.9 million to $907,385. His base salary in 2015 changed from $6.9 million to $9.969 million.

Beginning this year and extending through 2021 when he’ll be 32 and an 11-year veteran, here are Watt’s base salaries, with his cap figure in parentheses: 2014: $907,385 ($4.575 million) 2015: $9.969 million ($21.969 million) 2016: $10.5 million ($12.5 million) 2017: $10.5 million ($12.5 million) 2018: $11 million ($13 million) 2019: $13 million ($13 million) 2020: $15.5 million ($15.5 million) 2021: $17.5 million ($17.5 million)…

Andrew Brandt, SI.com: Upon signing, Watt is fully guaranteed at an impressive $30.9 million, incorporating the first two years compensation… On the third day of the 2016 League Year (in March ’16) another $19 million becomes guaranteed, bringing the full guarantee to $51 million. In terms of cash, Watt will earn $41.9 million over the first three years, with the approximately $10 million in remaining guarantee spilling into the fourth year, a rarity with NFL contracts.

Aaron Wilson, NFP: Watt restructured his $100 million contract, converting his $10 million guaranteed roster bonus into a signing bonus for salary-cap reasons.

Len Pasquarelli, ESPN: the six-year contract signed last month by former North Carolina State defensive end Mario Williams, the first selection in this year's draft by the Houston Texans, features a basic value of $54 million and a maximum worth, counting all possible bonuses, incentives and escalators, of $62.1 million. The guaranteed money in the contract is initially $21.75 million, and then jumps to $26.5 million after the Texans exercise an option next spring. And the signing bonus is zero… he received a $2.625 million roster bonus on what essentially is a five-year deal with an option for a sixth season. Under the terms of the contract, the base salaries for the first five years -- $275,000 (2006), $3.625 million (2007), $4.35 million (2008), $5.075 million (2009) and $5.8 million (2010) -- are fully guaranteed. That totals $21.75 million in guarantees. But the guarantees escalate to $26.5 million next spring, when the Texans pay Williams $12 million to exercise their option for a sixth season on the contract. By exercising the option, the Texans reduce the salaries in Years 2-5 of the contract -- to $975,000 (2007), $1.575 million (2008), $2.3 million (2009) and $3.025 million (2010) -- and add the 2011 season at a base salary of $3.725 million. All the base salaries are guaranteed, bringing the total guaranteed money to $26.5 million.

Williams can void the final two years of the deal based on playing time levels and if he and the team reach certain predetermined performance levels, but the Texans then have a right to buy back the voided 2010 and 2011 seasons at a cost of $8.5 million. There are plenty of incentives, like $125,000 in most years for leading the league in sacks, bonuses for honors and playoff victories, and escalators that can raise the base salaries in 2010 and 2011 by $6 million and $9.5 million, respectively.

Megan Manfull, Houston Chronicle: Winston will receive a $608,000 signing bonus in a four-year deal that could void to three years. He is slated to make $275,000 this season, $360,000 in 2007 and $440,000 in 2008.

Keith Williams, IntheBullseye.com: Winston received a $6 million signing bonus and has a $2 million roster bonus in 2009. I don't have the exact date of the roster bonus, but I would guess that it would probably be around 3/15/09. Also, Winston's $2 million base salary in 2009 is guaranteed, bringing the total "guarantees" to the $10 million as reported.
