It is all in the structure. A 3 year deal is far different than a 4 or 5 year deal.
These guys get their number “on paper” and it’s always backload to the last year to meet that number even though 95% of players never see that final year.
And that’s fine bc they get paid big money when they sign the contract while the team makes an out to get cap saving and little dead money.
I am gonna have to hammer this with Nick Bolton bc if they keep him everyone will freak out at the number without looking at the structure
