Again, not saying the move is a negative, I'm not sure it should be how the salary cap is managed either tho.
Essentially, this is a restructure. With one extra year. The extra year would allow you to pro-rate an bonus over an additional year if they wanted. Front loading the means less dead money and more cap savings if they do cut him when he is aging if his production declines. And we haven't seen how it's structure to potentially included voidable years. I think we will have more clarity once the contract numbers are available to review.
