It's hard to imagine Hatcher getting to that final season considering his cap hit would be hefty for a player who would be 35 entering the season. But if he's still playing well? Different story.

Here's the breakdown, courtesy of ESPN Stats & Information:

2014
Base salary: $1.5 million (fully guaranteed)
Cap hit: $3.75 million

2015
Base salary: $3 million
Cap hit: $5.25 million
Release Fee: $6.75 million

2016
Base salary: $6.5 million
Cap hit: $8.75 million
Release Fee: $4.5 million

2017
Base salary: $7.5 million
Cap hit: $9.75 million
Release Fee: $2.25 million

Just added the release fees. As CRed says, it's a two year contract. It costs more to release him then keep him in 2015 so he is likely on the roster. In 2016, he is unlikely to make the roster unless the contract is redone or he is has had a couple of monster years for us.
