His deal includes a $1.25 million signing bonus and a fully guaranteed base salary of $1.945 million. Additionally, he can earn up to $255,000 in roster bonuses ($15,000 per game) and $50,000 for a workout bonus.
He can earn up to $1.1 million in incentives for catches and receiving yards, although it's not specified what would trigger those bonuses.
