The Houston Texans found a new centerpiece to their talented young secondary when they signed veteran defensive back Jimmie Ward on Tuesday.
His contract is reportedly worth a maximum of $14.5 million over two years with a $13.5 million base salary. It is unclear exactly how much of this deal will be paid out via bonus to limit his impact on the Texans’ salary cap, but Spotrac is reporting that the number could be as high as $8.5 million.
