Signed for 6 years, $25,515,000 as part of a 5 year extension in 2005. The deal included a 6M signing bonus prorated over 5 years, a 3M roster bonus in 2006, and a 1.5M roster bonus in 2008 that was converted to a signing bonus and prorated over 3 years.

As part of his new extension in 2008, he received a 6.5M signing bonus in 2008 prorated over 6 years. Based on his contract, I anticipate the Eagles will "supersede" (the exact wording of the contract) his 2009 base salary to become 5.85M (instead of 4M). Doing so will likely cause the base salaries from 2011-2013 to escalate to 10M each year. In the simplest scenario, the Eagles will also "supersede" the 2010 base salary to 8M. In this scenario, there would also be a 1.5M escalator or de-escalator, as well as a possible 1.5M roster bonus, all of which depend on his performance in 2008 and 2009. This matches up exactly with the reports of 13M guaranteed over the first 2 years, 21M over the first 3 years, and the possibility of 24M over the first 3 years.

In more complicated scenarios, there is a 7M option bonus that could escalate or de-escalate or a 5.25M "non-exercise fee" that could escalate or de-escalate. We will cross that bridge if we come to it.
