ATLANTA -- Taylor Heinicke remains with the Atlanta Falcons, but in doing so, he's taking a decrease in pay.
According to Roster Management System, Heinicke took a pay cut recently from an expected $5 million base salary in 2024 to $1.21 million. His $1.32 million roster bonus, which was due just after the league year began last month, was instead classified as a signing bonus.
His $40,000 per game active roster bonus was also removed from his contract.
The reduction in the deal lowers Heinicke's cap number from $8.96 million to $4.
