There's got to be a signing bonus in addition to this, no?

If this is the guy BP & JJ had targeted, I cannot imagine that they wouldn't ante up to this deal (unless Ryan didn't want to come here in the first place).

it was reported as a 5yr, 10 mil deal...so he must have gotten 3 mils or so signing bonus...600k a yr in addition to the salary qould about equal the cap charge...they got him pretty cheap
