 4 year deal structured so that he can be cut after year 2 with little pain. $10 Million signing bonus with a minimum first year salary.  First year cap hit around $4 Million.  2nd year cap hit $6 Million, 3rd year $8 Million, 4th year $12 Million. 
To prettify it up and pad the value to make it look more lucrative, toss in a few workout bonuses, guarantee the first year and year 2 for injury, add a bonus for making the pro bowl, and a roster bonus in year 4. 
In total, a partially guaranteed $40 Million over 4 years. In reality, 2 years $16 Million.
