But my point is that you don't get paid on your first contract. You get paid on the 2nd. Guys understand this. And the Texans giving a backup 4 million means that Slaton's agent can jump off from there in contract negotiations.

A signing like this does not hurt Slaton now, and it helps his ability to get paid later.
