Unless I misunderstand, the off-set part is the big sticking point. Why the fuck would SD let the guy double dip on the back end of a contract? If he's so overly confident in his abilities then he should know he'll play out at least the 4 full years if not the team option 5th. If he sucks and they cut him, he's still due the money being that it's guaranteed. SD is saying that if he signs with another team, they are off the hook for the remainder that's covered by his new contract.

To which I say, get your ass to camp rook and prove that you're not the next top 5 flop.
