00:00Louis Rees-Zamit has signed a new deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, securing a base
00:07salary of £666,000, nearly double what he earned as a rugby player.
00:13However, his financial future is uncertain. The Welshman, who joined the Jaguars after
00:18leaving the Kansas City Chiefs, is still considered a rookie as he didn't play last season.
00:24While his salary is promising if he makes the active roster, there is no guaranteed
00:29money in his contract.
00:31If Rees-Zamit makes the final 53-man roster, he will earn the full salary during the 18-week
00:37regular season. However, if he's placed on the practice squad again, he'll receive around
00:42£10,000 per week.
00:45For now, the 23-year-old will focus on pre-season training. His time with the Jaguars could
00:50be a turning point, but the upcoming roster will determine whether he secures a long-term
00:56NFL career, or faces another setback.
