If he can't get medically cleared, he'll be cut with an injury settlement.
His signing bonus was $11 million and he had about $8 million in guaranteed base and roster bonuses this year. He has another $2 million of next year's salary guaranteed and an additional $6 million of his 2020 and '21 salary guaranteed for injury.
So he's sitting on about $27 million that's guaranteed when you factor in the injury guarantees. He had just a hair under $5 million in career earnings prior to this deal so all told if he never gets cleared again he's looking at roughly $32 million in career earnings.
He should be just fine.
