I would just be mindful of Miguel's adage that first reports on a contract are usually overstated agent spin. I would be shocked if he sees much of that $12M up front - it perhaps can be guaranteed IF (he doesn't make a foolish mistake that costs him a suspension)... And the deal could be backloaded so that he is in effect working for $4M per initally which is what that $12M would represent over the first 3 years of the deal. And on further scrutiny once the paperwork leaks out I wouldn't be surprised if reports indicate it's one of those deals that could morph into a 1 year deal.
Remember, AD just got 5 years at $35M but his guarantee is $20M+. And our new slot WR/KR just got $10.75M guaranteed on an $18M deal. In this market players are getting more than half of their real money guaranteed, this deal looks to guarantee less.
Either way nice to be drafting for defense next month.
