Jarron Collins: Signed a one year minimum salary contract in September 2009. Waived in October. Claimed off waivers 4 days later. Collins is actually being paid $1,181,803, the minimum salary for an eight year veteran, but as his minimum salary contract is only for one year and he has more than three years of experience, the team is only billed an amount equal to the minimum salary of a two year vet. The league pays the rest. Taylor Griffin: Signed a two year minimum salary contract in August 2009. First year is $250,000 guaranteed. Second year is fully unguaranteed, but becomes $200,000 guaranteed if not waived on or before October 31st 2010. Jason Hart: Signed a one year minimum salary contract in September 2009. Hart is actually being paid $1,181,803, the minimum salary for a eight year veteran, but as his minimum salary contract is only for one year and he has more than three years of experience, the team is only billed an amount equal to the minimum salary of a two year vet. The league pays the rest. Waived in December.
