The San Francisco 49ers locked up Jason Verrett for another season. Once again, the cornerback chose to bet on himself, picking a lucrative one-year deal over a multi-year offer from another team that was reportedly on the table. The defender will bank on another healthy season and perhaps a bigger payday next offseason.

ESPN's Field Yates provided the following details on Verrett's new deal, worth $5.5 million.


Signing bonus: $2 million
Base salary: $2.5 million
Per-game roster bonuses: $1 million ($62,500 per game)

Verrett could earn an additional $1 million via incentives based on playing time, interceptions, and if he makes the Pro Bowl. He made the Pro Bowl once, in 2015.

"A base value of $5.5M is outstanding value after how he played last year," notes Yates.
