I meant "goes up 5% a year for the next 4 years" (as noted in the earlier discussion).
That's where I got to the $14m. I'm not suggesting that's 100% a lock, just agreeing with jayswin's general point that a goalie like Wolf might bet on himself and push for shorter term deals in anticipation of large cap increases over the next few years.
