    Come back with similar guarantees and show the same money distributed the two different ways and then we can see if it’s easier to get out of in the second year. Hint, hint, it’s not. So you don’t need to waste your time.

    That's factually wrong. If the guaranteed money hits the cap earlier in the contract, you can cut them more easily than if you backload the same guaranteed money, e.g., through a signing bonus

    Don't be a dick.

    If you guarantee the same amount of money, you still pay the same amount of money, so what are you saving again?

    If you pay 50 million in the first year and cut them, but you already took the full 50M hit… yes, you’re not paying for it anymore. But if you already paid the 50million for one year and took the hit, are you really gaining anything? No. It’s a ridiculous argument.

    It's facts not an argument.

    You don’t want a hit in your cap.

    When you make a guaranteed portion of a contract, you’re guaranteed to do something you don’t want to do.

    Whether you do it now or later it’s still the exact same thing. You took a hit on your cap. And it was guaranteed.


    If you substitute taking a cap hit (something you don’t want) with cutting your arm off (also something you don’t want)

    I think we can clearly see that if we cut our arm off now or later, it’s still the same result.
