From the article

Simpson's contract, which had a predetermined number of years and dollar amount already, is a four-year, $25.4 deal that is fully-guaranteed, and a fifth-year option that the team will need to make a decision on in 2029. Simpson, the 13th overall pick in the 2026 draft out of Alabama, is competing against Stetson Bennett to be Matthew Stafford's backup quarterback.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Simpson's fully-guaranteed rookie deal locks him in for backup competition with Bennett.

Rookie QB signed to 4-year, $25.4M fully-guaranteed contract with $14.94M signing bonus; 13th overall pick in 2026 draft from Alabama; competing against Stetson Bennett for backup role behind Matthew Stafford; per Brent Taylor, reads defense well and consumes NFL playbook quickly—skills suited for Sean McVay's system—but needs to improve awareness of oncoming rushers and decision-making speed in training camp.
