NFL backup QB is a pretty sweet gig.

I say this without any actual research but it seems like once you are established as a legit backup, your career ends up being pretty long despite playing on a majority of 1 and 2 year contracts.

That’s a great contract for him.

Foley getting paid big bucks. Great contract…..and working in a no income tax state means he will take home a bunch of extra cash

He probably would have gotten more if he didn't have that man bun

I agree. Ask Dan O how being a back up worked out for him. Solid contracts and little contact to worry about long term concussions.

I'm pretty sure I remember Dan O was also on the sidelines doing a little bit of coaching too. I swear I remember reading that somewhere and that's why he was able to stick around so long as a back up. I may be misremembering though.

Bring him to the Pats. He will fit in nicely with Henry.

Ryan has made over $16 million playing in the NFL.

The Giants have very little at TE right now. He would hardly have to move locker rooms.

From what I have read, Griffin hasn't been the same since his last injury. I also read the Jets wanted to keep him...but they wanted him to restructure his contact...he chose to test free agency instead. He must have something lined up.

Details of TE Ryan Griffin's contract with Bears

The Chicago Bears have found a new tight end in Ryan Griffin, who figures to serve as Cole Kmet's backup heading into the 2022 season. Griffin, a former sixth-round pick in 2013, has spent his entire career in the AFC. He spent his first six seasons with…

-> Travis Jones, DT: The rookie third-round pick still has plenty to learn, and maintaining consistency and intensity throughout practice is part of that. However, he’ll have some reps where he just overwhelms the interior offensive lineman in front of him. On Saturday, he swatted down a pass so emphatically that you could hear the thud 50 yards away. He’s big, strong and explosive, and he already has veteran teammates believing that he’ll immediately upgrade the team’s interior pass rush. Jones will be one of the more intriguing players to watch Thursday. <-
