If by chance he sustains a serious injury and you lose him for a while, the team is ****ed anyway cause they’re not winning jackshit without Pat.
5 years, $180 mil. FULLY guaranteed, every penny of it.
Year 1 - 25 mil. (Starting in 2021)
Year 2 - 30 mil.
Year 3 - 35 mil.
Year 4 - 42 mil.
Year 5 - 48 mil.
Pat makes bank. Doesn’t destroy the cap in the early years. Bigger hits come in the later years when the cap has risen exponentially. 5 year deal so doesn’t lock Pat and his agent in forever, so can reevaluate things in 5 years to see if this really is where he wants to spend the rest of his career (obviously Hunt will do everything in his power to make that happen).
Seems like a win win for everybody.

You also lose the ability to extend/restructure to manipulate the cap.
