Because he was already under contract for this year. His base salary for this year has not changed.
I'm talking the actual costs of the extension. What did it cost to retain his services? How much new money is added?
For those of you who are valuing his actual worth at 9.6 million. I have a very simple question for you: Why not just let him play out his rookie deal, and offer the 9.6 mil per at the end of the season then?
That would've saved us a ton of money if that is truly is the worth that was just set. But it's not. His worth was set at 12 mil per. That's exactly what it cost to add 4 more years to his exising deal.
