Not legal. Contract has to be at least 3 years to do an extension. If we create cap space I'd expect him to get our $2.7 million room exception. If we don't have cap space, hopefully the $2 million biannual exception is enough.

I think 4 years. Smith had a 3 year deal, was not eligible for an extension. Also, extensions are true extensions, so the value in the final year is, in many cases, an anchor point for the value going forward... Basically, the next season's salary has to be in that "raise window" of 7.5%, unless it is a rookie extension.
