How about 1 yr 14 million with a hand shake deal that he signs a 3 yr 18 million deal or 4yrs 20 million the year after.
He gets 4 yrs 32 million dollars and we get a 6 million cap hit for the years that matter.
And if he balks at signing the 2nd deal you could still trade him in his 14 million dollar year retaining 50%
