When did I ever say it was a one year deal? I just said there's ways to format a deal where there's an acceptable amount of risk and then gave an example of how it could theoretically be formatted per year.
3yr, $12m guaranteed ($4m base salary per year), with a max value of $54m if every single incentive was hit.
Just as a theoretical example of how to give AJ Green a contract he'd be happy with while not exposing yourself as a team. If he hits those incentives, he'll be worth it. If he doesn't, you're not out a ton.
Nobody is setting aside $18 mil in cap space for a guy who hasn't played in a year and a half.
He wants a multi year deal because he wants another huge payday with a ton of guaranteed money. Why would he be happy with a multi year deal with less guaranteed money than the FT?
