He purposefully took less money to help keep Chris but now we're getting into the meat of the contract. It's also why Florio has been endlessly bitching.
You aren't looking at his age. You think Veach is comfortable paying a 30+ year old that big of a cap hit? Bc if he gives him this deal that's what will happen. He probably wants to structure it properly.
Veach has only paid one 30+ guy a 3rd contract (Kelce) and it's bc it's a bargain compared to guys like Chris wanting almost 3X as much.
Veach made a big mistake with Frank Clark's contract. I think he wants his structure to give him an out in case of injury or the very real chance that Chris Jones declines in year 2 or 3 of the deal.
