A buyout saves almost nothing either in cash or cap hit, simply because of the structure of the contract. It's not going to happen at this point. Other posters have mentioned a couple of dates near the end of the contract where it might make sense, but those are years away.

By the way, I think you mean ‘reluctance’. ‘Reticent’ means reluctant to speak, specifically.
