"Milliner will receive the minimum base salary every year. If he’s on the preseason roster in 2014, he earns a roster bonus of $485,505. In 2015, that figure will jump to $971,010, and if Milliner is on the preseason roster in 2016, he earns $1,456,424."
That leaves rookies, and top-10 draft picks, Jonathan Cooper of the Arizona Cardinals and Chance Warmack of the Tennessee Titans as the only remaining first rounders left to sign a deal.
