And I'm not predicting or stating that as a fact.
It's just the risk of going shorter term.
If he takes a step back then it flips to the team having gotten it right. That's the bet.
There's no right and wrong today.

Comparing this deal to a 5 x $3.75M deal...
2 x $2,425 = $4,850
5 x $3.750 = $18,750
so the remaining 3 years are worth $$13,900 or $4.633M per year
Will his next contract be worth more than $4.6M? Maybe, maybe not. It certainly isn't a slam dunk though.
And if it is - if he earns a big payday in 2 years then, great! Everybody wins.
