I would advise Snowden to exercise EXTREME caution when dealing with the Justice Department. They are under no obligation at all to truthfully propose a 'deal' and can freely lie to Snowden and make any guaranty they want to get him back and then not honor it, and Snowden will have absolutely no recourse.
Even assuming the current administration for reasons totally unfathomable were 'sincere' in making a proposal, subsequent administrations (of any persuasion) would be under no obligation to honor it.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
