Veteran tight end Jesper Horsted's contract details are now available.
It was far from surprising to see the New Orleans Saints add to their tight end room last week. Following the news that starting tight end Juwan Johnson would be heading into surgery for a lower leg injury,. Per Wilson, the deal is a veteran minimum contract that qualifies for the veteran salary benefit. Meaning that while his base salary will be $1.125 million, he will only count against the team's salary cap for $985,000.
The cap hit amount falls just outside of the top-51 salaries on the Saints' roster for now. That means the signing has no impact on their current cap space. During the offseason, only those 51 largest cap hits count against the cap until the rosters are trimmed to 53 following the preseason. Wilson also reports that Horsted's deal includes an injury waiver. Such an addition to a contract typically means that if a recent or substantial injury in a player's history were to recur or re-aggravate, then the team has the freedom to waive the player without owing guarantees.Beyond such concern, the 6-foot-3, 237-pound Horsted's connections to the Saints are plentiful.
