I had heard it described as essentially "ripping up" the 5th year and completely redoing it. That may not be completely accurate but it gets the point across at least. I'm not confused anymore.
I am a soccer guy, and in MLS, the "cap hit" of the player bears little resemblance to what the player actually receives (for the high priced guys, anyway).
I think once a person discards the notion that the cap hit and the money he is actually receiving need to actually be related to each other in a meaningful way, it gets easier to understand. In MLS, they are even less so. They SHOULD be related. Sometimes are. But for the big fish, they usually are pretty divergent.
