I believe it's 4 years starting now. Basically the 'hawks have torn up the last year of his rookie deal and replaced it with this new deal.
Na, its 5 seasons.

Per @RapSheet, the deal for Earl Thomas is worth $40 million over 4 years in new money. That puts him at close to $45 million over 5 years.

If you look at Thomas' new money, he gets $10M/yr to Byrd's $9M/yr. If you look at totals, Thomas just behind Byrd at $44.725M over 5 years.
