Well any gaurenteed money is generally paid up front but then budgeted on the payroll over the corse the the contract so thats all ravens money.. but in a trade the new team would take on whatever salary for the years remaining and with a backloaded contract those years are very expensive. I dont know if there are bonuses each of those years etc that might have to be paid.
but a team could restructure the contract turning salary toa signing bonus but for his production and price tag a trade does seem far out.
