Adam Jones' contract details

Thanks to Salary Cap Analyst AdamJT13 from a sports forum:

Adam Jones signed a four-year contract worth $13.3 million or more.

This season, if he plays, he will make $700,000. He would get a $100,000 salary advance after he's reinstated. His cap number right now is $0, because he's suspended, but it would be $700,000.

In 2009, he has a base salary of $1 million if he plays, plus a $250,000 workout bonus if he participates in the offseason workout program and a $250,000 roster bonus. His cap number would be $1.5 million.

In 2010, he has a base salary of $3 million if he plays, plus a $595,000 workout bonus if he participates in the offseason workout program and a $255,000 roster bonus. His cap number would be $3.85 million.

In 2011, he has a base salary of $7.25 million if he plays, plus an unknown escalator clause that could push it higher.

We could cut him at any time during the contract with no bonus acceleration.
