People seem to be acting like the concept of an extension is all of the sudden novel to them. The deal was always going to add X years to his current deal, and it's the same thing that happens for 90% of these deals.
But seems like we are generally aligned on that this isn't a "team-friendly" deal, and it's a pretty standard, market-setting deal. I saw one poster claim it was team-friendly because the AAV was what he predicted it to be lol. I'm not sure it works that way; predicting the deal correctly = team friendly
I think the team friendly part will be the ability to covert roster bonuses to signing bonuses to free up cap space. Like the Chiefs have done with Mahomes. We’ll see.
