His original rookie contract was a 3 year , $1,224,280 contract with the New Orleans Saints, including $144,280 signing bonus, $144,280 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $408,093.

He was cut after his first season and claimed off waivers by the Dolphins who paid out year 2 and three of the contract. Saints could have kept him at his original contract but decided not to. Miami paid him the same money the Saints originally greed to, hence he did not leave for money.
