Breaking News: Gholston Officially Signs

By Bent on 25. Jul, 2008

The Jets have finally completed the Vernon Gholston signing – at 4:30am this morning! If he turns up at camp later looking a complete mess, you’ll know why.

According to ESPN, it’s a FIVE year deal (so did the Jets cave?) for between $32.5m and $50m depending on his performance (so maybe the agent caved on the fiscal terms), with $21m in guarantees.

    There is hope, our long Jets Nation(al) nightmare may soon be over. Brett Favre, no. 4, QB of the New York Jets. WOW! Tanny, make this happen!

    Ain’t gonna happen. Too many hurdles to get over, and remember…these are our beloved Jets we’re talking about here….

    I dont get it…how is the contract range between 32.5 and 50 if the guaranteed is 21? doesnt the range make 32.5 the guaranteed?

    No, Brian, he only gets between 32.5 and 50 if he plays the whole contract. The 21m is the guaranteed part if he was to be cut early.
