Tank Johnson's one-year deal worth $620,000
One thing that I failed to bring up when Tank Johnson signed, in what seemed like 19 million years ago, was the value of his deal. So I took a gander at the NFL Players Association website and looked up Terry Johnson. The one-year deal he signed on April 7, is worth $620,000. I'm not sure about guaranteed money and/or signing bonus.
Based on base pay, Johnson is essentially the second-highest paid defensive tackle on the team, with Domata Peko leading the bunch with $700,000. Jason Shirley and Pat Sims each make $385,000 with Orien Harris pulling $460,000. Johnson's deal is essentially a prove-it deal while Peko's deal escalates into the extension he signed last off-season, earning $2.75 in 2010, $2.9 million, $2.975 million, $3.1 million and $3.325 million during the following seasons. Somewhere in there is $6.75 million worth of roster, workout and/or incentives salary bonuses.

Just FYI...
$620k is league minimum for a 4-6 year vet (Tank has 5 years under his ample belt).
Handy table here:

When you look at the salaries for these defensive tackles...
…and then compare that to the ridiculous amount commanded by Albert Haynesworth…
’nuff said.

If you consider that Peko, Tank, Geathers and Sims are our starters...
Then combined, they are paid $1.12 million more than Albert Haynesworth alone ($6 million)
