Even if they have to give him more money the logic here is the cap continues to rise and a new CBA or lockout in 2021 could significantly alter things too.

And the $12M insurance policy the team took out in case of a catastrophic injury can be applied against the cap if it’s determined he is unable to play. That’s not going to happen anytime soon but it could bring a nice chunk of cap relief.

this is interesting...I guess it would an extension of sorts? A lil more time, less pain...
