Presumably that means signing a contract for less term and cap than he could realistically get on the open market.

Now, players sign contracts all the time for cap hits that turn out to be great deals, but how many elite players who are close to UFA actually sign contracts which stunned us at the time as being below market?

What does a team friendly contract actually look like for Johnny?
I am fine with anything up to 6 years and 8M/yr or under. So 6 years/48M I feel is fair. He can still play in Philly down the road if he wishes near the end and they may even need him by then because I don't see the fit now.
