His salary wouldn't really matter. It's the signing bonus. I haven't seen anything on how much, if any (Warfield got nothing, Tebucky got $300k) Gramatica got.

No, it's actually $425,000:

*All salaries for players with four or more years of experience AND who sign contracts that qualify for veteran's exemption will only count $425,000 against teams' salary caps.
He also most likely displaced a player with the $275k rookie minimum salary on the Top 51 list, meaning the total team cap number gets adjusted again.

Posted this last night in what I figured was the appropriate Pats Sign Gramatica existing thread:

The NFLPA site is showing only 1 year $585,000. Haven't seen any contract details posted as to any signing or workout bonuses, and there may well not be any. If that's the case it's a veteran minimum contract.

---------------------

Not directed at you specifically Pats1, just saying ...we have so many duplicate threads (or more) lately they are pushing existing threads down or off page one to restart discussions that have already often been extensively covered.

I wish IAN would empower our Mods to do some basic thread merging. It gets really silly (and for some confusing) here at times and the draft will only unleash another round of emerging lurkers and newbies as well as longstanding members intent on trumping each other with breaking news or highlighting their POV via starting seperate threads rather than posting their opinions in existing ones.

Don't worry, you're talking to the #1 advocate of just what you're saying!

The only problem is that Gramatica thread was 2 pages long, so things like this can get buried.

FWIW - Gramatica displaced a player with a $350,000 salary. All of the players with a $275,000 salary have not been in the Top 51 for awhile now.

Kicker Martin Gramatica inked a one-year contract worth $585,000. The deal doesn't include a signing bonus. It does include a $6,160 workout bonus. The pact is a split contract, meaning Gramatica gets paid $275,000 should he suffer an injury.
