That's cool. You have numbers geeks like me to try to help.

5/45 with 28 guaranteed front loaded..

How much of that guaranteed is signing bonus? In my scenario, the 20 is a signing bonus that is prorated through the length of the deal. Also, how would you allocate the remaining 17 million over the five years?

I would have the same question about your 5/52 scenario. I like the 10.4 per year average there, and would maybe go with a lower guaranteed number if it's all signing bonus.
