Well, let me tell you, this Braxton Berrios fella, he’s a wide receiver playin’ for them Miami Dolphins, and folks are wonderin’ how much money he’s makin’ these days. From what I heard, he’s got a good deal goin’ on, real good deal. Now, don’t expect me to give ya any fancy football talk ’cause that ain’t my style, but I can tell ya he’s gettin’ paid well for what he does.
Berrios signed hisself a one-year contract with the Dolphins worth a total of $2,150,000. Yup, that’s over two million dollars. But don’t go thinkin’ that’s all in one chunk. He’s got a base salary of $1,400,000, and on top of that, he’s gettin’ a signing bonus of $450,000. If you ask me, that sounds like a pretty sweet deal, especially for just one year’s work. On top of that, there’s some fancy football stuff called “cap hit” which is set at $2,132,352. Now, I don’t really know what that means exactly, but sounds like a lot of money to me!
Now, don’t go gettin’ confused, this isn’t all gravy train stuff. If he were to leave the team or get cut, there’s somethin’ called “dead cap” value, which means the Dolphins still gotta count some money as owed to him. In his case, the dead cap value is $1,200,000. I reckon that’s a way of protectin’ the player if things don’t work out.
Now let’s talk a little more about that contract. His base salary, as I mentioned, is $1.4 million, but not all of that’s guaranteed. Some of it’s a bit risky, but he’s guaranteed to get $750,000 of it no matter what happens. And don’t forget that bonus money, that signing bonus of $450,000—now that’s just extra on top of the base salary!
What’s even more interestin’ is that there’s somethin’ called per-game roster bonuses. That means if he stays on the team for each game, he gets a little more cash. This here per-game bonus adds up to $300,000 over the season. Now, I reckon that’s like gettin’ a little somethin’ extra for doin’ your job right each week. That’s another way he’s makin’ money on top of his regular pay.
Now, if you’ve been payin’ attention, you might be wonderin’ how he’s done with his performance on the field. Well, let me tell you, he’s been doin’ mighty fine. He led Miami in receptions, with 55 catches. And he didn’t just catch the ball, he made ‘em count, with 679 yards and 9 touchdowns. Ain’t too shabby for a fella who’s supposed to be just a wide receiver. Not only that, but he was also Miami’s main punt returner, and he averaged 15.9 yards per return. I’d say that’s pretty good. That’s like gettin’ a good jump on your garden every season, y’know? Startin’ off strong.
All this adds up to him bein’ a valuable player for Miami, and that’s probably why they’ve kept him around for another year. They’re payin’ him well ‘cause they know he can bring it on the field, and that’s what counts in football, I reckon. At the end of 2023, this young fella is gonna have made more than $13 million over the six years he’s been playin’ in the NFL. That’s a lotta money, if you ask me!
And just so you know, this here fella’s net worth is estimated to be about $15,197,000. That’s a lot of dough, but I suppose it all adds up when you’re out there catchin’ passes and runnin’ routes all season long.
So there you have it, that’s how much Braxton Berrios is gettin’ paid. I don’t know if that makes you wanna go out and play football, but it sure sounds like a good way to make a livin’ if you can catch that ball and run with it!
