My thought is that it's a two-stage bonus. Meaning maybe (making up numbers here) $10 million now and $7.5 million next year.

Maybe that means the $10 million gets spread over the 5 year contract ($2.0 million per season) and the $7.5 million gets spread over the final 4 years ($7.5 million divided by 4 years = $1.875 per year).

So it'd be:

2007 - $2.0 + base salary
2008 - $2.0 + $1.875 + base salary
2009 - $2.0 + $1.875 + base salary
2010 - $2.0 + $1.875 + base salary
2011 - $2.0 + $1.875 + base salary

Maybe?
