Yes, I'm aware.
Usually you'll see some level of front-loading a bit though (See Mixon's extra couple million tacked on to his 2020 hit because we split the bonus up over all 5 years). And I think these two play greatly into determining how we approach Jackson and Lawson.
Even if these guys don't see a huge bump this year in their cap hit you're still going to see that bill due moving forward, and that's going to affect other long-term deals.
