He hasn't played a FULL season yet. It is simply a deal structured that he would get about $2.5 million guaranteed including first year salary, then he would have a roster bonus of say $5-10 million for next year that can be spread over the rest of his six year contract or we can cut him and eat about $500,000 to a Million in dead cap. He would count about $1.5 this year and if he plays well he gets a big bonus and will be here awhile. It is a little risk but he is still goin gto get about $2.5 million for one year.
