Yesterday we had learned that DE Brian Robison had signed a contract extension with the Minnesota Vikings. Through a league source we now have a full picture of the financials surrounding the contract. The contract is for 4 years and is worth a total of $22.4 million in new money. The  only money fully guaranteed upon signing is a $5 million dollar signing bonus, though his current base salary was already guaranteed.

Robison had been scheduled to earn $4.4 million in base salary in 2013. Robison will now be paid at a rate of $2.83 million for the remainder of the season. He will receive a $5 million dollar signing bonus to bring his actual compensation in 2013 to $8.4 million. His salary cap figure remains unchanged for the season.

In 2014 Robison’s base salary is $4 million  and he is also eligible to receive $200,000 in roster bonuses for games active, a $100,000 workout bonus and NLTBE incentives of $1.2 million based on playing time, sacks, Pro Bowls, and the NFL DPOY award. The salary is guaranteed for injury only and becomes fully guaranteed on the 3^rd day of the League Year.

In 2015 the P5 will be $4.15 million and the same bonus structure is in place. His salary is guaranteed for injury only with $2 million becoming fully guaranteed  on the 3^rd day of the League Year and the balance becoming fully guaranteed on July 1.
