The salary of traded players has long been a source of confusion for NFL fans. Which team will pay him? How much will he receive? Is the player paid per game he plays? All of this uncertainty is going on right now with offensive tackle Cam Robinson.

While the Jaguars have traded the star, how much does he earn this year is still a big question mark. Let us delve into the situation to find the answers to all of these salary questions of the new Vikings star.

How much will the Minnesota Vikings pay Robinson?

Let’s begin our discussion with Cam Robinson’s signing. The man got a contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars that would pay him $2 million as a base salary. The Minnesota Vikings first of all will need to pay the OL at least this amount at the end of this year. However, this is not the end of the story; the man will earn some more money during the rest of the season.

The Vikings also need to pay Cam Robinson $58,824 per game this season. This makes a tremendous sum for the OL. All of this shows how desperate the Vikings were for a player like Robinson. They went to the extent of paying so much money to have him on board. On the other side, the offensive tackle is in a win-win position because he will also receive money from the Jaguars. But how is it possible? Why don’t we go down his deal with the Jaguars first to get some clarity?

Cam Robinson’s contract history: How much did the Jaguars pay him?

“The sky is the limit,” these were the remarks of Cam Robinson when his contract was extended with the Jaguars in 2022. Everyone was thrilled for him when he secured a three-year deal with the team. It was a hefty contract which was worth around $54 million. This was a significant lift for him because this deal was about eight times more valuable than his previous one. (His previous contract was for four years, at $7,018,163, which he signed in 2017.)

Well, this contract was significant since it benefited the individual on several levels. If we go into the depth of the contract, Cam Robinson received a hefty signing bonus of $15,000,000, as well as a guaranteed $33,000,000. This was not all, as you will be surprised to know that he would receive an average annual income of $18,000,000.

In 2024, the guy was expected to get a basic salary of $2,000,000 from the Vikings. But that is not all; he will have a cap hit of $2,588,230 and a dead cap value of $2,000,000. To summarize, the individual will receive a $7 million remaining contract from the Jaguars as part of the trading agreement.

Man! That is a lot of cash for an offensive lineman. However, Cam Robinson has worked hard to earn what he is receiving right now. Overcoming injuries and struggling in earlier days made the man as big as he is right now. If this trend continues, the guy will quickly become a megastar in the NFL. Well, time will tell whether or not that happens. Until then, do share your opinions on the man’s contract specifics. Do you enjoy it?
