Blacklock recently took a pay cut of nearly $684,000 to remain under contract for next season, according to NFLPA records, and now has a unguaranteed base salary of $1.01 million — or the 2023 minimum salary for a player of Blacklock's experience. The 24-year-old Blacklock can earn the money back through playing-time incentives, according to NFL Media.
Blacklock, the 2020 second-round pick by the Texans out of TCU, was acquired via trade last summer for a sixth-round pick. He played 139 defensive snaps (12%) in 11 games, but was a healthy scratch for the team's final seven games, including the playoff loss.
Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
