Re: 1 yr $177K > 6 yr $17.4M ???

Someone brought this up in a league chat, seems like something is wrong with this. Why would a player choose a 1 year, $177,295 deal with no bonus over a 6 year, $17,446,632 deal? I have no idea what the bonus was for the 2nd deal - but it had to be at least the minimum for the offer to have been made.

Here's the player:

Miami was trying to sign another expensive contract at the same time, and hadn't cut any players yet. Looks like they only had about $1.5M available when they made the offer. I know we can go over budget in free agency, but maybe it is an issue in pre-season?

ah, thanks. I figured there had to be a reason, but couldn't figure it out.
