Can pardons be like plea deals?

Ie the pardoned has to follow through on certain behavior or the deal is off?

Because I have vague memories of the Nixon/Ford era, and growing up a lot of anti-Nixon voices in my family said that at first they thought it was bad that Ford pardoned him, but that looking back (this was from the mid 80s) they thought it was a good way to get it behind us. And that it got Nixon off the stage completely.

Shutting Trump up, and not giving him grievances to whine about - just suck the oxygen out of him and get him gone. At this point, he doesn't care about fines, even if he were convicted he'd be serving time in a Club Fed minimum security prison.
