Following the Patriots’ announcement of their signing of former Raiders defensive back

Obi Melifonwu on Tuesday Womens David Andrews Jersey , more details have been released regarding his contract with the team. According to the Boston Globe’s Ben Volin, the Patriots inked the former UConn product to a deal that potentially keeps him in Foxborough through the 2019 season.The signing doesn’t impact Melifonwu’s 2018 cap figure of $261,176, which is an eight-week proration of the $555,000 minimum salary that a player with one credited season receives. Here’s how his 2019 salary cap figure breaks down:Salary: $645,000 ($100,000 of which is guaranteed) — the minimum for a player with two credited seasons.Roster Bonus: $30,000 — earned by making the team out of training camp.Workout bonus: $25,000 — not technically classified as guaranteed, but an easy way for a minimum salaried-player to earn offseason cash.Per-game bonuses: $125 Authentic Lawrence Guy Jersey ,000 — $7,812.50 for each game in which he active next season. The likely to be earned (LTBE) total that will reflect on the Patriots’ 2019 cap sheet will be determined by how many times he suits up in 2018. If he is active for the next eight games — which seems quite improbable — the team would carry a $62,500 charge into 2019 for them.In total, Melifonwu’s 2019 cap charge will be $762,500, which will decrease by $7,812.50 for each game that he is inactive for this season. The Patriots obviously see the potential in trying to develop a player like Melifonwu who possesses premium athletic pedigree and comes from an Oakland Raiders organization rife with dysfunction. Melifonwu is now the ninth defensive back and fifth safety currently under contract with the Patriots in 2019.The move brings very little financial risk and some solid upside. Initially, on would think that his athleticism would translate to a special teams unit or two while he learns the defense and develops. Presumably the 2019 goal would be to him provide potential competition for veteran Patrick Chung at the box safety spot, or as depth at the “big” corner spot currently occupied by guys like Jason McCourty and Eric Rowe — each of whom are not under contract with the team in 2019. For a second-year defensive back looking for a place to get his career off the ground, New England provides an solid landing spot. However Authentic Shaq Mason Jersey , it’s also an excellent opportunity for third-year safeties coach Steve Belichick — who gets an athletic blank canvas like Melifonwu and ten months to help mold him into a chess piece for de facto defensive coordinator Brian Flores.Follow Brian Phillips on Twitter - @BPhillips_SBWeek 2 Patriots vs Jaguars: Marcus Cannon needs “impressive improvement” to play tomorrow The New England Patriots will face one of the best defenses in the NFL tomorrow. However, the team’s offense enters its game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with some personnel questions: running backs Rex Burkhead (concussion) and Sony Michel (knee) were both limited all week in practice and appear to be game-time decisions heading into the rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game.Furthermore, there is a realistic chance that starting right tackle Marcus Cannon misses the contest (via The Atheltic’s Jeff Howe):Cannon did not play when the Patriots met the Jaguars in January due to a season-ending ankle issue, and it looks as if his latest ailment – a calf injury – could keep him out of Sunday’s game as well. Without their the 30-year old, New England would turn to primary backup LaAdrian Waddle to go against Jacksonville’s talented defensive linemen like Dante Fowler Jr. and Yannick Ngakoue.Waddle brings plenty of experience to the table but is a downgrade from the starter he could replace tomorrow: last week against the Houston Texans and All-Pro defender J.J. Watt, Cannon held his ground while playing 61% of offensive snaps. Waddle, meanwhile, was more inconsistent during the 39% of snaps he was on the field for. It would therefore not be a surprise to see the Patriots try to help Waddle with an additional blocker – think tight end Dwayne Allen – at times tomorrow.
