Deaderick received a signing bonus just over $40,000 with the standard base salaries of $320,000, $405,000, $490,000 and $575,000.

The deal has a total base value of $1.83 million. The maximum value of the deal can be boosted signficantly if Deaderick triggers a fourth-year escalator clause.

As a senior, the 6-foot-4, 305-pounder posted 23 tackles, four for losses and one sack after recording four sacks and 36 tackles as a junior.
