It is incentive laden due to the fact that if he makes the Pro-Bowl he gets $9mill, but that incentive or one like it is in just about any rookie contract. He is still guaranteed $13+mill just because of his signing bonus, then he gets what ever his salary is for that year also. If you look at the cap sheets, Taylor's cap salary is $4.73mill for this year, howeve his base salary is $425k. His signing bounus is $2.095mill and his other bounus is $2.210mill. Which comprises his total salary, so this year alone ST is almost going to make what AA is guaranteed...
