I'm just glad it's over and he can get back to "focusing" on football.

Here's how I interpret the deal:

He can void his contract as early as 2007 if he makes the Pro Bowl twice in the next 4 seasons. So basically, if he makes it in 2005 and 2006, he can opt to void his contact and become a free agent in the '07 season. BUT, the Skins will have the option to keep him by paying him $3.25M.

Forget about the $1.6M bonus, that's just window dressing to satisfy some sort of salary cap rule.
