You have it right. The team can exit before the expensive back-end seasons, and the agent gets a strong headline.
The reaction to Metro's receiver extension was sticker shock, but the structure matters. The first two years are manageable, guarantees fade before age thirty, and the offense avoids forcing a rookie into the primary movement role. It also gives the young quarterback continuity. The headline number is loud; the practical commitment looks ordinary. Am I missing a roster crunch elsewhere, or is this simply good business?
