Several players earn escalators due to great play this year

[panthers55]

The link says it is about Jonathan Stewart news but it also mentions several players that got escalators based on excellent play.

Stewart had a base salary of 1.74 million which grew to 2.74 million as a result of an escalator in his contract for hitting several performance marks.

Thomas Davis tripled his base salary from $700,000 to 2.2 million. Imagine if he played all year.

Brayton increased his base salary from 1.8 to 2.1 million.

If I read this correctly it sounds like those escalators put our salary cap for 2009 over the top. So Diggs getting extended actually reduced his 2009 cap hit so we could stay under the cap with those increases. I think Pepper's 1.5 million was already included in bonuses likely to be earned and part of the cap. I wondered why they extended Diggs at this point for cap releif when there isn't going to be a cap in 2010.

In other news, contract extensions went to me and you, your momma and your cousin, too.

Edit: Just realized the obscure reference I made was not to "escalators," but "elevators." Consider me FAIL.

that information is old. those escalators took affect and were based on those players 2008 performances.

stewart's base salary for the 2009 season was 2.74 million, not 1.74.

So Foxy threw Stew a bone and "allowed" him more looks down the stretch while DeA sat. Nice
