That's why a series of 1-year contracts is so much more beneficial for the player, especially when they're on the rise (like Seth Jarvis). The time to take the long term contract is when you've peaked.

Agreed 100%, never questioned that at all. The player gets their cash, the team pays the cash, the cap hit is 5% less.
