I'd imagine the heavy bonus was in large part because he had to. The Cowboys were clearly desperate and if the Chiefs were offering similar overall dollars but no #1 WR role, the way to close that deal was a shitload of up front cash. Writing the guy a check for $21 million and guaranteeing his 2019 salary pretty much closed bidding.
But he MIGHT have also known that it would make him tradeable in year 3. And if so, damn that's some good long-term planning.
