To some degree yes. But they would prefer 3 years totalling $10M than 5 years totalling $11M.
But my point was that the distribution of a players salary/bonus between years is for strategic reasons, it's got nothing to do with "having the highest actual salary" in a given year.
But 7 years for $80M is likely better than 8 years at $82M.
