The big advantage to teams doing extensions before contracts run out is that the player takes less money in exchange for the security of the guaranteed money and long term deal being in place. If the player won't take a discount on the extension, there's not much point in the team doing it. You let them play out their deal and play the FT game at that point.15 maybe a little high but I’d assume 12-14 at least. Maybe backload it for when the cap comes up. He plays another year like this it’ll probably lt be more like 17. Get him extended now.
