Either way, at minimum, they have already handed him $700k, and potentially up to $1.75m. Both are enough that Mike Brown won't let him go without playing.

Mike Brown doesn't give signing bonuses to people who don't have a spot on the roster already.

He definitely has a spot on the roster.  His spot in the lineup might not be so certain.  But he's still learning the position so maybe he starts slow and picks it up from there.  Even then, you hope you don't have to rely on him.
