$ 5.4 million..2021
$ 8.7 million..2022
$10.1 million..2023
$10.3 million..2024

Five year $48.8 million.  Less than $10 million per year.

2020 was already under contract, as it was part of his rookie deal. That's why the extension was set at 4 years, and not 5. (I think you know this)

The cost to extend to him (his market price and the cost moving forward) was set at 4 years 48 million dollars.

Here's how it breaks down in cap hits:

2021 ------------------------------------- 8.137
2022 ------------------------------------- 11.450
2023 ------------------------------------- 12.850
2024 --------------------------------------13.133
Bonus frontloaded onto 2020 --------- 2.43

Total -------------------------------------- 48 million dollars
