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.
