did you get details on the structure, money at signing and fully guaranteed money in the end

If he blew off a reasonable offer, while he's spending another year at a 3rd round pick salary, then the two sides have to be very far apart.   

For example, if we had offered $18 million a year, and right now I'm assuming he's making less than a million a year, then he's blowing off $17 million.  Spread that over a hypothetical 4 year deal, and it's over $4 million a year.  So if everyone is thinking logically, then the two sides have to be over $4 million per year apart.  

For example, 18 + 18 + 18 + 18 = 72
                     1 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 61

I don't understand how he could have turned down a reasonable deal, when the alternative is to stay on his rookie contract for another year.
