Details released on Zay Jones’ new contract with Cardinals

by | Mar 28, 2025

USA Today Arizona Cardinals writer Howard Balzer has the details on the new contract ECU alum Zay Jones signed.

Jones and the Cardinals agreed to a one-year deal a couple of weeks ago. Balzer writes in part that the contract is “another example of how agents inflate contract terms to national reporters to make them look better than they really are.”

Jones gets a $4.4 million deal what Balzar said are “tell-tale words ‘up to’ or max.’ In terms easy to understand, Jones will earn $2.4 million in a base salary with another $2 million in performance incentives for catches and yards if he plays all 17 games.
