That said, it IS about where I started with this whole thing when I said I figured we'd see about $8 million paid to him this year. Whether they plow it all into this year w/ base or do SOME base and SOME bonus is largely immaterial because again, rollover provisions mean that saving money this year just creates cap credits towards next seasons adjusted cap.

All that matters is the total amount of new money we're giving him. So it would seem like it MIGHT be $8.3 million in 'new' money.

There are just a lot of inconsistencies on Spotrac's own page. It's hard to know for sure.

But I'm gonna laugh if it's $8.3 million after I took an evening of cap-lectures from idiots when I got it pretty much exactly right doing nothing more than looking at his previous structure.

F-Off, Twitter jackholes.
