    Yeah honestly not sure how the whole thing works but my understanding is that they are essentially still going to be on the hook for the signing bonus of the extension but not the salary. Sounds like a pretty risky way to do business if you ask me.

    Lavonte David was the guy you were thinking of.

    International accounting seems like it would be more complex than US accounting

    Yeah but the extension is crazy lol he will make more than Drew Brees (if it doesn’t get voided).

    It will be voided, or reworked. They are not paying him that much money for his skill level.

    I think so too. Brown was our coverage LB. McKinney by most accounts is a pretty big liability in coverage at this stage of his career.

    A little odd given our cap situation though.

    Right. It's clear this is just a move to make cap space. With Brees retiring I'm sure their looking to try to move up in the draft.

    Sure but they will still be on the hook for some of that $140 million. They are spreading out the signing bonus over multiple years to save money.

    It w
    Yes, but it will be a tiny fraction f the $140 million. That is a phantom number. Smoke and mirrors accounting.

    Right but I guess my point is they are infatuated with Taysom Hill for some reason but won’t commit to him being the starter and they don’t use him nearly enough to justify what they are paying him. Why even make the “extension” $140 million? Why not 4 years $50 million or some other random number that’s meaningless?
