Total: $79 million over 8 years, 9.88 AAV. For any other team to match the first seven years of that deal, they would be looking at an AAV of 10.35. He could get that, but it would make it that much harder for his new team to pay a winning roster, which, I believe, is also something he cares about.

Nice, you even got both of the requirements for front loaded contracts right! The year to year salary variance was under $3.85M(35% of the first year). Also, the year with the lowest salary wasn't less than 50% of the year with the highest salary. Almost like you've done this before
