If they don't earn interest, then a portion of the differed amount as calculated by current fair market value which is 1-year LIBOR rate (now SOFR rate) plus 1.25% counts against the cap.
If Draisatl signed an 8-year contract for $115 million and deferred $33 million they could maybe save $1 million per year AAV

His contract is going to be huge. 120M deal most likely. No way he gives up a large chunk of that for a 9th year payment.
This is rare. Most players want most of the money right away. He also doesn’t seem like the type of guy to do this.
I think he wants his money, and he’s going to get it.
