Does this change your opinion at all on how good of a signing it is for us?

2017 = $4m roster bonus (no pro-rate unlike signing bonus). $1.5m salary (guaranteed) and up too $500k in "likely to be earned" incentives per season play bonus if he plays in all 16 games (Doyle had the same clause...must be a Ballard thing ) for a "likely to be earned" cap hit of $6m.

In years 2 and 3, he has an "unlikely to be earned" bonus of up to $1.5m each year for Pro Bowl appearances and # if sacks.

Year 2 cap hit = $3.5m + possible $1.5m in ULTBE incentives.

Year 3 cap hit = $4m + possible $1.5m in ULTBE incentives.

Love this contract.

Cheers,
