I said lost games, not all the games they lost. Barry certainly has cost them wins as well, but MiLF was't wrong about going 3 and out 3X last week. Barry fucking blows, but you need to kill that clock as well.

Whatever it ends up being, it will be worth it, and it will also be doable with intelligent handling of the salary cap.

Veteran minimum. Don't most all players say they'd play the game for fun?
OK, don’t know shit about salaries, cap hits, etc.
Is it possible to structure a contract , guaranteed, to pay out over a whole bunch of years?
Like MLB?
First done by Bobby Bonilla, now by Shoei Ohtani.
Pay a guaranteed bunch up front, then pay out a bit, year by year?
Unlike MLB, the only thing guaranteed is the bonus and the first year, and of course the bonus gets prorated against the cap for the duration of the contract. Paying out the huge bonuses can bite a team in the ass if the player has a career ending or debilitating injury or just fades in performance - that's the chance you take to beat the cap when signing somebody good.
Baseball, I remember somebody like Rickie Weeks and to a lesser extent Ryan Braun who were like millstones on the Brewers financial books for years when they faded due to injury or whatever. I assume there are a lot of other examples that could be cited on other teams.

Team friendly in most cases means that the player is betting on himself to still be good enough to make it to those big money later years without getting cut. I could see Love thinking that way - getting a record setting but heavily backloaded contract. It worked with Favre, and it worked with Rodgers too - team friendly but ultimately making the player filthy rich too.

Rodgers signed his new contract in March of 2022. Love will sign his in March of 2024. I suspect Love will pass Rodgers in annual dollars but significant less guaranteed. They will do the two years and we'll see since he hasn't played that much yet.
