There was a batch of late Lions free agent signings that hadn’t been announced with contract details.

But on Tuesday morning, those contract deals were made public on salary cap sites OverTheCap and Spotrac. Let’s break them down individually and explore what it means for both the Lions and the player: QB Teddy Bridgewater contract details — One year, $1. 8 million Base salary: $1.

4 million (fully guaranteed) Signing bonus: $187,500 Game roster bonus: $212,500 Cap hit: $1,800,000 A pretty straightforward deal for Bridgewater, who should be fully expected to be the team’s backup quarterback, unless something unexpected happens during draft week. For comparison’s sake, Bridgewater’s $1. 8 million cap hit ranks 57th among all NFL quarterbacks, sandwiched between Bills’ backup Kyle Allen and Patriots’ Tommy DeVito.

G Ben Bartch — One year, $1. 215 million Base salary: $1. 215 million ($330,300 guaranteed) Cap hit: $1,075,000 Bartch’s contract is relatively straightforward and at the veteran minimum for a player of his experience.
