The contract includes $2,421,448 in guarantees -- which are a combination of his $1,357,833 signing bonus and his entire base salary in 2015 and 2016 (meaning that both seasons are guaranteed).
Fisher is being groomed at multiple positions on the offensive line and could become the first backup at guard and tackle. With contracts expiring for Andrew Whitworth and Andre Smith at the end of the 2015 season, Fisher figures to be a two-part solution if the team elects not to extend their veterans beyond 2015.
