I have no clue what the exact numbers are but from I remember the deal was basically structured as a two year shot. There is something like a $7.5 million roster bonus due next season some time. Not sure if it is on the traditional june 1 or not. It was included as an escape clause for the Eagles should TO become an issue. I can't imagine why they would have thought he might be a problem.
Based on that I would guess that the hit isn't super terrible ala the Skins releasing Coles. I would guess it is in the neighborhood of 4 or 5 mil. I will do some checking and seeh what I can find. Maybe Canuck has the details.
