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

The 5 year 140 offer is a strategic one for the team.

So theoretically what is the difference in money to take the extension now instead of two years from now?

Not really. It doesn't start until the salary cap increase starts and it's based on a percentage of cap that only the Pels can give him. It then raises 7.5%, again a raise only the Pels can give.

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.
