I haven't seen any details on the contract. Could you expand on your year-to-year comment? I don't understand what you mean by that. Is there a team/player/mutual option or something? Thanks in advance.

He means you want to be able to cut them at the end of the year (if need) without any consequences (dead money) being stuck to you because you signed him to a long term deal with a huge signing bonus/guaranteed money. Think in terms of Revis contract with TB. He had no signing bonus or guaranteed money. Simply pay him year by year, and can cut at anytime.

Exactly. Thanks.
