No, because he still had to agree to the contract in principle before the trade happened. He could have hit the FA market as a 28-year-old DPOY, but chose to take a backloaded deal instead.
He's a DPOY, All-Pro, Pro Bowler who accepted a contract where the final $75.9m in cap hits can be avoided with $12m in dead cap space, or the final $48.75m in cap hits can be avoided with just $2.6m in dead cap space.
It hits the majority of his 7 qualifiers. If you want it to hit all 7 of his specific qualifiers, you must be the type of people who watch baseball and love to hear about records where "he's hit the most groundrule doubles on a Tuesday games that are played a night in a dome off of left handed relief pitchers named Smith."
