KFFL.com: Jets | Contract update: C. Martin Fri, 3 Mar 2006 19:43:57 -0800 New York Jets RB Curtis Martin's new four-year contract included base salaries of $2.5 million (2006), $3.250 million (2007), $4 million (2008) and $4.750 million (2009). The old contract called for base salaries of $6.22 million (2006), $4.352 million (2007), $5.15 million (2008) and $6 million (2009).
Does that mean they he just gave up the difference in base salaries or did they convert that to a bonus?
Wait, does this mean he took a paycut for the next 4 years? Thats the way it looks to me. If so huge props to Curtis. I dont think we will ever have a player like him again.
