I thought the Rose Rule was 30% of cap plus 7.5% raises every season, but I keep seeing 140 mil as the 5 year number. Wouldn't the actual number be closer to 155 mil?

It is not actually 25 or 30 percent of the cap number. It is based off of percentage of BRI. It is all in that article, but I understand the TL;DR thing - I mean it is like 2500 words.

Long story short - yes, we are the only team that can give him a rose rule contract and the only team that can give him 7.5% raises. It will come out to about 143 million with the new projected cap. For him to go elsewhere, he would get 9.1 next year and about 107 over 4 years from a new team.

Again, he'd have to wait two years just for the chance to earn about 30 mil less.
