Virtually all NFL contracts are back-loaded with huge salary numbers that give the player an "ego massage" when they sign the long-term deal for umpty tens of millions of dollars. But most of them never see those HUGE salaries in the final years because they either:

1. sign a new deal with a signing bonus and spread out that number over a bunch of years

2. get cut as a "cap casualty".

Sean Taylor is not immune from this reality. He may be here seven years from now and be an All-Pro safety earing huge bucks from Danny Boy Snyder's checking account. But if he falters, he won't even get a sniff of those huge salary years in his Redskin contract. The Skins know that; his agents know that (the ones he had to negotiate the contract in the first place and the ones he hires to try to find ways out of the current deal); hopefully, he knows that too since he has shown little if any ability to recognize the realities of the world that confronts him as a pro athlete.
If you look at the cap sheets that Crazy Chunk put together on the sites home page, Taylors numbers over his current contract are not really that bad, I think the highest I saw him getting was like 3.5million in year 4 or 5 of his current contract. So I kinda believe that if we dont trade him he will be here for his whole contract...

All I can add is that I know he got a 7.2 million signing bonus in the first year, so it actually appears somewhat front-loaded (although I don't know how that 7.2 gets broken down over the years......but he got it all up front).
