Because the max today will a lot be less than the max in 2 years


His contract would kick in at the same time as the salary increase and a max deal is based on percentage of the salary cap. Even if the CBA changes for more money to the players in 2017 it would benefit AD even more. By taking a 5 year deal he would average at least $28M over 5 years but most likely more. This is way different than the deal CP did and every player in the league would take this deal after their rookie contract.

It'd make more sense to wait, from a money standpoint. Issue is there's so much risk thay it isn't worth it. I think he is going to take the 5yr/140mil, you just don't risk that money this early on in his career. His second contract will also be a max contract as well given his trajectory.
