Specifically, PFT's Mike Florio reports, MJD will make $2.5 million each year. In 2014, the money comes from a $1.2 million fully guaranteed roster bonus, a non-guaranteed base salary of $1.2 million, and a workout bonus of $100,000. Next year, the money comes from a $2.4 million salary (non-guaranteed) and a $100,000 workout bonus. The same formula applies in 2016. Worth noting, Jones-Drew’s replacement in Jacksonville, Toby Gerhart, is getting $3.5 million per year on a three-year deal, with $4.5 million guaranteed. Former Colts tailback Donald Brown, now a Charger, has the same three-year package, with $4 million guaranteed. ... It speaks volumes about how the league views MJD and RBs in general.
