re: We need to sign Jimmy to a long term deal for cap relief

Actually, it could be more like $3 million savings.

ONLY if his signing bonus is much lower than expected.

Assuming a $1m base in the first year, if he gets something like 5 years $50m w/$20m signing bonus that's $4m per year.

So his first year hit would be $5m in that scenario($2m less than the tag). And then his contract would have to be heavily back loaded.

So unless his signing bonus is even lower, it'll likely save us $2m at best. Hell even at $3m savings it still isn't worth it long term.
