Hester Holdout? Hands-out Handsomely!

The deal that Devin Hester showed up Friday to work out was finally hammered out Sunday, with the Bears agreeing to a four-year contract extension with the wide receiver/return man that could be worth as much as $40 million.

The contract, which locks up Hester with the Bears through 2013, includes $15 million in guarantees—the type of reward he was looking for after holding for two days in protest of a scheduled $445,000 salary. Incentives bump him another 10 million if he turns out to become a receiver in the last year of the contract.

Wonder if that hamstring issue clears up Monday morning?
