There is another benchmark for passing yards. For each season, if he throws for between 3,250 and 3,499 yards, he earns $250,000. That becomes $500,000 between 3,500 and 3,999 yards. That number is $1 million for more than 4,000 yards. So, if he goes past 4,000 yards in each season, he can earn $2 million total.
