Teams do give players contracts with bonuses for games played. The key to Tee's deal will be the guaranteed portion and how they structure the contract whether it is us doing it or his next team. Fans get hung up on the the APR (average per year) and calculate ithe APR based on the maximum value of the deal. In my opinion, it is more important to use the cash due at signing. In Tee's case, I will be surprised if he get more than 60% of his contract guaranteed due to his injury history.

If he does get a maximum deal of 120 million for 4 years (30 million APY), at 60% guaranteed means Tee is only guaranteed 72 million (APR of 18 million p3r year). A common way teams strructure these contracts is in year 3 and 4 a huge roster bonus is used to be paid the first day of the league year. Since they giaranteed portion of the contract is mostly met during year 3 or by year 4, it allows the team to cut the players and not have dead cap if they don't perform or have injury issues.

I peronally call that at incentive based contract and will be shocked if Tee is not given this type of contract by us or any team.
