This week we take a second look, leading with Jacksonville Jaguars guard Uche Nwaneri.
Nwaneri signed a five-year contract extension before the start of the 2010 regular season that was worth a reported $24 million. The 30 percent rule governing extensios in the uncapped 2010 season limited how much the base salaries could increase in that deal, so he went from earning a $598,000 base salary in 2010 to $711,000 in 2011.
During that time, however, Nwaneri triggered a "not likely to be earned" incentive that increased his base salary for 2012 from $849,000 to $2.775 million. Future base salaries of $987,000 (2013), $1.125 million (2014) and $1.263 million (2015) are now at $3.775 million in each of those seasons.
Staying in Jacksonville, left tackle Eugene Monroe's base salary has increased by $500,000 in each of the next two seasons to $2.182 million in 2012 and $2.6225 million in 2013. Additional escalation is available for 2013.
Other new updates to the list are Baltimore Ravens safety Bernard Pollard, who triggered a $300,000 base salary escalator for 2012. Carolina Panthers cornerback Captain Munneryn, New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead, Oakland Raiders wide receiver Louis Murphy and Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Roy Miller will also receive increases in the final year of their rookie contracts.
Players with an * are entering the final year of their contract.
