That is the million dollar question my freind and the key point i was making by the solution of drafting LB this year.

better to have one year of playing audition before the asking that question when next years checks start to be written

Just another way to look at the draft.

1 3rd plus a 4th and 2 sixths are cheap money. all you need is at least 1 of four to step up. thats it. makes 2015 FA that much easier.

As for the final dollar amounts of a contract it really makes no difference how you get there when are talking Drew and Byrd next year because it is very unlikely they are going anywhere. So in reality have very little to with the point of my post. then again cut drew and you get about 12 million in cap room. so i guess that is an option

this is the numbers you need to dig into and see how this are given out over the life of the contract.

$22 million in incentive guarantees

there in lies the difference incentive guarantees is a cutely dressed up bonus check. I use to chase the accounting down but i stopped a few years ago. nothing ever really matched up
