re: Many say if Les was offered, it was an offer UM knew he would turn

I'd be fine with Miles getting a 5 year contract at his current salary with it guaranteed, thus his original $18.75M buyout.

The new contract is for 7 years but the guarantee is still $18.75M for the first two years of the contract. In year 3 it goes down to $15M and then reduces by $3.75M every year after that.

To essentially guarantee him another $7.5 Million on top of that is utter pathetic.

I am not sure where you are getting this from but it is not what I have heard. Link?

Les could go 0-12 next year and he's still guaranteed basically $22.5 million dollars.

Again, the total amount of the contract is not guaranteed... only the $18.75M that was in the original contract. Also, the automatic rollover was taken out of the contract.
