Yet another MSB contract for the Giants: Ramses Barden's cap number is listed as $620,000

In something that isn't coming as a surprise of any kind, Ramses Barden's 1-year deal is listed by the overthecap.com as having a cap value of $620,000--just as I predicted. The NFLPA confirmed his base salary as being $715,000. It is yet another contract in a long line of Minimum Salary Benefit (MSB) contracts for the Giants: the eleventh to be exact. If I'm not mistaken, I do believe that the Giants have the most MSB contracts in the league. Check this article out:

• Barden's base salary, as already mentioned, is for $715,000 (the veteran minimum for a player with 4 accrued years).
• He received a signing bonus of $65,000.

• Therefore, his salary (not his cap number for you novices out there) for 2013 will be $780,000--provided of course that he makes the team, which is tenuous at best.
• Since Barden's inability to be a consistent performer on Special Teams makes him a liability in that department, it would be no surprise if all the real money that he sees from this deal is his $65,000 prorated signing bonus.
