If he would sign cheaper than the 17.6 million why not just pay him the 17.6 million the first year then less the second year.
The issue is it would have been worse for SF. They utilized a post June 1st designation on him moving his cap hit from 25 million this year to 10 million. Had they traded him he would have counted as that $25 million hit which would have been prohibitive to the 49ers cap situation.
