- There was probably a signing bonus. If you add up the above two bullets, that's $63M guaranteed. So if there was a $8M signing bonus, that gets you to $71M.
That means we've guaranteed him through 2020 (3 years), and we could get away from him after that if we wanted, without cap implications.
I can't know that this is the way it looks, but it's highly likely given Schaffer's MO with bigger contracts.

It was reported the full 71 million was guaranteed for injury only that they could cut him prior to that for performance reasons.
