Shake n Blake - exactly. If Zeitler and Kirkpatrick sign an extension this year, the team would likely only add a few million to it but disperse the majority of it into 2017 with bonuses (a la Green).
fredtoast - he's at $6 million this year, but then it drops down to $3.5 annually after. So definitely a good deal. It's the fuzzy math of "APY" -- it's $15.5 total over a "three-year extension" so it's "$5.1 on average annually" but that's deceiving because $5 is applied to this year. So really he's getting paid about $10.5 over the next three.
