Randle is gauranteed 3 years here at around 3mill/year in cap charge, and probably another year at 4mill. the 5th, 6th and 7th years are completely optional for the team.

that means he's really only a 3mill a year WR, which is much more in line with his skills than his 5mill/year contract originally indicated, and actually isn't that bad a deal as i thought for a pro bowl quality returner and #3 slot WR).

he may never see the last 14$mill of his deal.

Yeah it will depend on how he does in the first 3 years of the contract. If he's good, the Skins will restructure the contract and prorate that big base salary in the 4th year over the remaining life of the contract.

I think he'll be good.
