Yeah i shouldn't have used the wording "terms of the deal". I just meant how much of the bonus he gets right away.
If the Seahawks moved they won't want that to be public for precedent reasons. If it was Witherspoon and his agent that moved they look pretty dumb for holding out so I bet both sides agreed to keep a lid on it.

The current CBA pretty much makes rookie contracts a formality in terms of number of years and total salary, so these days it’s rare to get a holdout. However, the former Illinois cornerback reportedly had an issue over the payment schedule of his $20 million signing bonus. Seattle usually prefers to defer signing bonuses down the road as opposed to paying most of it upfront. Eventually we’ll see the contract details and figure out how Devon’s bonus will be paid out.
