Saints Used Clever Tactic To Craft Tyler Shough Contract
The New Orleans Saints agreed to a groundbreaking contract with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough on Saturday.
Selected as the No. 40 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, Shough has now secured the league’s seventh fully guaranteed second-round contract, a rare achievement.
The Saints got creative in working on Shough’s deal, introducing a unique roster bonus clause to Shough’s contract, a first for a player outside the first round, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
“The contract also includes (an) annual Roster Bonus structure whereby Shough receives the majority of his compensation each year during the first week of training camp,” Schefter reported on Saturday.
Roster bonuses typically guarantee payment if a player remains on the team by a specific date, though the exact terms of Shough’s deal are still under wraps. This structure could set a precedent across the league.
