Similar to what I said before, this is OUR version of what happens when you sign a player to a mega deal and you end up stuck with a regret.
Other teams with a more traditional accounting structure face the same issue, and get stuck with the player because they don’t want to take the large accelerated cap hit just the same.
They initially have a contract with more balanced year to year numbers as opposed to us and our style, but instead are binded by facing a large cap hit that would hurt their “healthy cap” that they don’t like to play future structure games with just the same.
Denver’s willingness to destroy their cap to cut Russell Wilson was a unicorn event that rarely happens. You sign a guy to a mega long term deal, you almost have to live with it for at least a good three seasons, whether you do it our way or the traditional way.
