Ja’Whaun was under a deal for 2023 and could earn more than 4 million dollars if we included his salary, bonuses, and incentives. With the 2 season extension, Bentley could secure up to 19 million dollars over the next 3 years. The guaranteed amount is 9 million dollars.

Ja’Whaun will begin his 6^th campaign in the NFL, and he is one of the best at his position in the league. Even his coach Jerod Mayo shared last year: I don’t understand why he doesn’t get much hype, but he’s one of the NFL’s best backers.”

The LB began from the 1^st minute in all 17 regular-campaign matches the past season and was cited by Mayo as a crucial player in the offseason with his talent and leadership on and off the field.
