At the time, ESPN’s Adam Schefer reported that it was a one-year deal worth up to $5 million was the initial report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It turns out that isn’t the case, and perhaps his new deal is part of why Seattle opted not to re-sign him.
The Athletic’s Giants beat reporter Dan Duggan uncovered some details in Lock’s contract. His base is actually $5 million ($2.95 million guaranteed + $2.5 million signing bonus + $50,000 workout bonus), but his incentives could see him reach $8 million, which is more than the entirety of his rookie contract.
