So yeah more risk for sure.

Though I don't think a 3 year $5.97M contract is out of the question given the cap could be north of $105M at that point (making that today's $4.5M contract)
Risk is a funny thing and people will value it differently.

If someone game me a choice:

A guaranteed $10 million
or $20 million if I make a three foot putt.

I might expect to make that putt 90% of the time but I'm still taking the guaranteed money. Not a perfect example obviously but I think some athletes are simply looking to de-risk their career at a certain point.
