So while the per year looks like more it is only 6-7 a year against the cap, which is team friendly. The per year is a misleading number because so much of it is not guaranteed and on longer deals most is never seen. This is how we have always signed our guys is by creative structuring. I'm not saying 6-7 is the number (haven't even looked yet honestly), but we don't necessarily have to have the same per year to give him a similar deal to decastro.
He made $7.5 million this past season.
Some team will pay him $10+ million a year...in which case he walks and we start Westerman and complain how he's a bottom tier starting Guard.
