Joey Blount contract details, salary cap hit
Blount enters the final year of his two-year, $3.75 million contract. He will make a little more than $1.5 million in salary and will count almost $1.8 million against the cap.
Roster outlook, questions he faces
Blount is hopefully fully recovered from his neck injury. His spot on the roster is not certain. He is one on the roster bubble. With a new special teams coach and players like Kitan Crawford , Andrew Wingard and Isaiah Oliver who are all solid special teams players, Blount will have to prove his worth. Wingard and Oliver also have plenty of playing experience on defense.
