40 mill of the 78 is guaranteed so of the 15.6 mill per year 8 of that is guaranteed.

BUT

Chances are the bulk of the 40 is in the first few years, so probably its more weighted like 25 per year the first two years and 12.66mil the last 3 years.

Here is a link to a good article (not on the salary but the benching/extension connection)

GC on it only being 15.6 mil per year, i was about to say I did that wrong because the 8 mil bonus would be part of the 15.6 mil per year total cost.

I think the contract is probably gonna be front loaded because they don't know how many years McNabb is going to give us as a starting quarterback. So even though it averages 15.6 mil per year, it's probably gonna be a lot higher than that in the first 1-3 years of the deal, then a lot lower than that in the final 2 years so we can release him or if he retires and we don't want a huge cap hit.
