I hope he breaks Derrick Thomas's single game record right in front of me.

12 sacks to earn another $6.5mm.

Anyone else hear "personal goals" as an issue?

Of course, it being structured as a 2016 roster bonus, he has to be on the team in 2016 to collect.

Oh, and I find this intersting...
it’s also worth pointing out that his 2015 cap figure will be greatly reduced in the spring. Right now he’s scheduled to count $15.45 million against the Saints’ 2015 cap because of a guaranteed $12.5 million roster bonus. But that will almost certainly be converted into a signing bonus and spread out over the final five years of his deal, which will drop his 2015 cap hit to $5.45 million.

Well there's 10 million knocked off our 2015 cap problems.

Meh i hope cam jordan gets those sacks. Galette shouldnt have had this contract it appears to me it effected us in the run game.

And Cam Jordan has done what exactly this season? He hasn't rushed the passer or stopped the run. At least Junior hasn't mailed it in this year.

Not much to be honest which is weird. But if anyone got those sacks i hope its not junior. We don't need to give that much to a player who can only play on one down.

The bonus doesn't take effect until 2016, not next season. Also, he ISN'T a one down player. He is a player that is being used on one down THIS WEEK.

Good point. #1 in the NFL for "QB hurries" this year?

#1: Junior Galette at 27. #2: JJ Watt has 23.

Cam Jordan is 21st with 12.

This contract is exactly the reason any read option quarterback makes it to the Hall of Fame - Galette too focused on the sack.
