It means he is getting his 2021 salary and maybe some of 2022 paid upfront in a bonus so it can spread out over later years.
No, it's because 18 of it is a signing bonus which is writing a check now that gets spread out over the life of the contract. That isn't usually their MO writing big signing bonus checks from what I heard on a podcast yesterday. A lot isn't guaranteed down the stretch though and that sounds like it' more of a "we will address those issues when they come" in terms of needing to cut bait with him.
