Can someone explain how or why this contract is going to be bought out when we are almost 20 million below cap this year with little to no huge raises coming up next year, no real reason to believe we will be signing a ton of FA's to huge deals in the next offseason, the cap almost certainly going up the next two years and even questionable that we would be near the cap in year 3 of this deal.
It is 2.9 million dollars for a team that should be nowhere near the cap over the length of the deal. Why would they ever have to buy him out?
Especially when Wideman will be making 5.5 over that same time period.
