Current Agreement Kelvin Benjamin agreed to terms with the New York Giants on a one-year, $990,000 contract that includes a $990,000 yearly salary. If Benjamin remains on the roster at the end of the season, he will receive a bonus of approximately $33,333 for every week he plays in line with the contracts of other restricted free agents with similar experience levels such as Brandon Marshall and Eric Berry. His annual base salary is slightly more than what the Miami Dolphins offered him last month. He started 10 games at wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers in 2015 and recorded 59 receptions for 793 yards and five touchdowns under head coach Ron Rivera. Before joining the Panthers, Benjamin had only played in 16 games over two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos due to injuries. He had 70 catches for 994 yards and four scores during that time. As a rookie with the Panthers in 2014, Benjamin appeared in 15 games (one start) and registered 42 receptions for 577 yards and three TDs. He was drafted by Carolina with the ninth overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. As a collegiate player at South Carolina, Benjamin was regarded as one of the best receivers in college football and was considered a can't miss prospect. He signed with the Atlanta Falcons after going unselected in the 2013 NFL Draft.
