The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Originally scheduled to earn $11 million in 2014, Schaub will now collect a $4.5 million fully guaranteed salary and a $3.5 million signing bonus to be paid on March 31, according to NFLPA documents obtained by CSNBayArea.com in the wake of the QB's restructuring. The deal also calls for $3 million in unlikely to be earned incentives. The key take away from the new agreement, though, is Schaub's $5.5 million non-guaranteed salary for 2015.

Diehards Line: When the Raiders acquired Schaub, he was billed as the long-term solution to their quarterback woes. As it turns out, the Raiders essentially are committing to Schaub as the starter for just one season. If the 32-year-old doesn't bounce back from a disappointing 2013 season, the Raiders can release him without penalty. Even if Schaub shows enough promise to stick around for another year, he will be compensated at the same level as veteran stopgaps such as Michael Vick, Josh McCown and Chad Henne. HC Dennis Allen has expressed confidence that Schaub will be the face of the franchise for the next three to four seasons. But the Raiders have positioned themselves well if things don't work out.
