Good morning.
The structure is player friendly if you compare it to the Lichtensteiger or Montgomery deals, which the Redskins can easily get out of if they choose. This is a little trickier, because more than 20% is signing bonus, and the year one salary is so low.
If instead, he took a $2 mil SB and a year one salary of $4 million, the year one value is the same for the player, but he has less leverage for year two, as the team can save money by releasing him.
