Either way, the extra $10+ million a year he's getting each year could have gone a long ways towards giving him more talent on offense to work with. Sure his contract number drops a lot in 2028, but no way in hell he actually plays on that cap number without the contract being adjusted again (likely to $70-75 million a year by then).
