Doing a low AAV deal for a year or two to chase a cup makes some sense, to set up an 8 year max deal that takes you to age 39 or 40. But if he's willing to take on that risk of leaving money on the table I'd way rather take it to UFA this summer and choose a team like Dallas or LA.
But I'm guessing there's a backroom guarantee here, and he wouldn't have the necessary level of trust as he does with his current scumbag benefactor.
