The New Orleans Saints gave rookie QB Tyler Shough a contract that is structured like a first-round pick. Expectations are high for him.

According to the report, the Saints also agreed to a stipulation no other second-round pick has: Shough will get most of his pay each year as a guaranteed roster bonus during the first week of training camp, rather than having to earn most of his salary weekly during the regular season.

The Saints received a clever response after Tyler Shough signed his rookie deal. Which came from Cameron Jordan.

The New Orleans Saints are transitioning into a new era. Derek Carr shockingly announced his retirement earlier in the offseason, and Kellen Moore will now take the reins after years of underperforming under Dennis Allen’s tutelage.

Rookie contracts in the NFL are typically a non-issue, but there is a good reason this year is playing out differently.
