I mean sure. But that doesn't mean the move won't work out and they have financial protections if he misses time. Moreover it's a one year deal and there isn't anyone else that is even potentially worth spending that money on so I don't see the issue. If he works out great. If not, it's not my money and it won't even be on the cap next year.
My biggest concern is, we knew he needed surgery. Why not pass on him like other teams and get someone else. Are we falling behind Car when it comes to player evaluations?!
