The best way to clear it up is to go to the deal itself.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the breakdown, per a source with knowledge of the terms:<\/p>\n<p>1. Signing bonus: $4 million.<\/p>\n<p>2. 2026 base salary: $4 million, fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>3. 2027 base salary: $7 million.<\/p>\n<p>4. 2027 per-game active roster bonus: $1 million total ($58,823 per game).<\/p>\n<p>The deal includes an annual $2 million incentive, if Dobbins gains 1,200 yards from scrimmage. That\u2019s something he\u2019s never done in his career, largely due to injury. Last year, he had 809 yards from scrimmage in 10 games. That pace projects to 1,375 yards.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a two-year, $16 million deal. The first $8 million isn\u2019t tied to per-game roster bonuses. It can be worth up to $20 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Conflicting reports have emerged regarding the two-year contract signed by Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins.
