Bruce Irvin Contract Breakdown

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Bruce Irvin was the first player selected in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft to agree to a contract. Former NFL player agent and front office executive Andrew Brandt accurately reported that Irvin's contract is worth $9.34 million, all of which is fully guaranteed, and included a $5.34 million signing bonus.

Through a league source, I've gotten a look at the full numbers of Irvin's contract and have put them in a chart to show they compare to the details of the four-year, $9.259 million contract that Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey signed as the 15th overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft.

Both contracts were negotiated by Joel Segal of Lagardere Unlimited Football.
