Details are important.<\/p>\n

Stefon Diggs and the Patriots agreed to terms on what initially was reported to be a three-year, $69 million pact. The total value surprised many given Diggs\u2019 age (31) and the fact he\u2019s coming off an ACL injury. However, the details of the contract tell a different story \u2014 a story which paints the Patriots in a savvy light.<\/p>\n

\"Stefon<\/p>\n

Sports Illustrated\u2019s Albert Breer reported the $69 million max value is made up of $63.5 million in base pay and $5.5 million in total incentives. Of that $63.5 million base pay, Diggs has $16.6 million fully guaranteed and $22.6 million in injury guarantees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis one is a good example of how surface numbers don\u2019t always reflect the reality of the deal,\u201d Breer wrote on X. \u201cPatriots are protected six ways from Sunday. Diggs will have to get healthy and play really well to get even to $20M in \u201925 \u2014 with \u201926 and \u201927 effectively team options on the contract.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

A year-by-year breakdown looks like this, per Sports Illustrated:<\/p>\n

\u2014 In 2025, Diggs can earn $18.5 million in base pay. It includes a $12 million signing bonus, $2.9 million fully-guaranteed base salary, $3.4 million in per-game roster bonuses ($200,000 each game) and $200,000 workout bonus.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

\u2014 In 2026, though, only $1.7 million of Diggs\u2019 20.6 million base pay is fully guaranteed with $6 million guaranteed for injury. The injury guarantee will become fully guaranteed in March 2026. The remainder of Diggs\u2019 base pay is made up of $1.7 million in per-game roster bonuses ($100,000 each game) and $200,000 in workout bonus.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

\u2014 In 2027, Diggs could earn up to $22.5 million, but nothing is guaranteed. It\u2019s comprised of a $20.6 million base, $1.7 million in per-game roster bonuses and $200,000 workout bonus.<\/p>\n

The only way Diggs receives the full $5.5 million in incentives in 2025 is if he records 100 receptions for 1,300 yards. The Patriots would be thrilled to have to pay that $400,000. Diggs also will receive $500,000 if he makes the Pro Bowl any season, as he has four times in his career.<\/p>\n

All told, the risk isn\u2019t as great as it seemed for the Patriots given how they\u2019ve helped themselves with the contract language. That makes the signing all the more of a home run.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
