- Carrie has $10 million in full guarantees, which consists of his $2 million base salary in 2018, his $3.6 million signing bonus that is pro-rated to $900,000 million per year, and a $2.4 million roster bonus in 2018
- Per Aaron Wilson, in 2019, if Carrie is still on the roster by the third day of the league year, then $5.5 million of his base salary for that season will become fully guaranteed (note: before the third day of that league year, the $2 million is guaranteed for injury).
- For every game that Carrie is active with the Browns from 2019-2021, he will earn a $25,000 roster bonus, up to $400,000 per year.
In terms of average per year ($7.75 million), Carrie is the 24th-highest paid cornerback in the NFL. If Cleveland wants to cut him after this season, they would carry a dead cap hit of $4.7 million in 2019. It’s the type of contract that indicates Carrie is a player the Browns’ front office believes in for the long-term.
