So how does that average $12 million a year?

It is $33 Million in base salary over the 4 years along with $13 million in prorated signing bonus and an additional $2 million in roster bonuses and $800k in workout bonuses giving him an AAV of 12 million. 

I believe in 2020 he was still in his rookie deal. That $14.4M was his rookie contract salary plus the signing bonus ($10M) from the new contract, which is spread over 2020 to 2024.

Salaries are as follows
2021 $5M + $2M signing bonus + other stuff
2022 $8M + $2M signing bonus + other stuff
2023 $9.4M +$2M signing bonus +other stuff
2024 [Club option] $9.63M + $2M signing bonus + other stuff

$10M signing bonus + $5M + $8M + $9.4M + 9.63M = $42M and there are roster bonuses and other crap to add to that figure.
