re: Cam Cameron gets paid $600k 1st yr $1.3M 2nd, $1.5M 3rd

Of course, the Baltimore contract may have a clause that requires them to pay him a certain amount or, if he finds a new position, to augment that pay up to the same amount.
That type of provision is not terribly unusual, and could allow LSU / CC to back load his compensation higher than it would otherwise be.
