I didn't hear him, but I read that it was more like $40M in the first two if he clears the March 2013 physical with no damage/issues to the specific areas of the neck where he had surgery.
Either way - it's a SB or Bust move with high risk. If this thing works and they can get to a SB and win in the next 2-3 years, it's worth the investment. Until then... as Elway said in the press conference, this guarantees nothing - just gives them a much better shot and they have more work to do.
