How are they saying this is a 4 year deal if he's getting the money now and it's good through 2024?
That's 6 years, right?
I'm confused. They reworked the next 2 years and added 4 more, right?
I actually would have preferred we scratch his last 2 years of his contract and had just givin him 4 years total starting this year.
Yes, with minor variations his rookie contract remains intact. The extension is an add-on and does not start until 2021. They did the same thing with Cooks and Donald.
If they had scratched the rookie contract and started the new contract in 2019, his 8.9 M cap hit this year could have as much as tripled, and they don't have anything near the cap space for that.
I don't think they really re-worked the 2 remaining years on the rookie contract. I think that with (like I said) minor variations those years are the same as before.
