Couch and Huard were signed for similiar base salaries. I can't tell if Damon got a Signing bonus, but Couch got a small one. Couch's contract was 1 year and Damon's was 2 years making 600,000 this season and 665000 next (according to NFLPA.org).
Quote:
Andrew Kessler, an associate of Couch's agent, Tom Condon, said the deal with Green Bay calls for Couch to count $1.25 million against the Packers' salary cap this year, including a base salary of $625,000 and a signing bonus of $625,000.
Couch has the potential to make as much as $4 million, based on incentives. One would be met if he is on the field for at least half of the Packers' snaps. That seems unlikely since Favre has started 208 consecutive games and rarely misses playing time.
