Eric Bledsoe.......$16,875,000......$18,125,000.....$19,375,000
................................................................$3,900,000 - Partial Guarantee
George Hil..........$9,590,602......$10,047,297....................
I have New Orleans getting at least one of the first round picks for taking Bledsoe's contract.

Donte DiVincenzo...$3,044,160.......$4,675,830.....................
With Fox needing a new contract, McNair might have decided on financial flexibility rather than getting a first round pick and having to work around Bledsoe's contract over the next several seasons while he renovates the roster. It does give the vibe that the market for Hield is soft at the moment and McNair would rather not sacrifice asset(s) to move him.
If things turn favorable in the future for moving Hield and/or Barnes, McNair could have some cap space to work with and take a bad contract for compensation which would then be simiilar to what New Orleans did by taking Bledsoe's contract.
