Newly acquired Miami Dolphins tight end Julius Thomas restructured his contract, eliminating $12.6 million from the deal to facilitate his trade from Jacksonville earlier this month.
Thomas, who was acquired in exchange for a seventh-round pick in next month’s draft, turned his contract into a two-year deal worth $12.2 million. According to a league source, $7.5 million of it is fully guaranteed.
He will earn $5.5 million in base salary this season, which is fully guaranteed. And in 2018, the seven-year veteran, who turns 29 in June, will earn $6.5 million in base salary, of which $2 million is fully guaranteed. He also has $100,000 workout bonuses in both years.
