If I could get a guy like Flowers for 10 mil per year, i'd have no problem with it. Maybe they can.
But you can't go paying that much for a guy that doesn't have the high ceiling, similar as you can't go paying Ford because of injury concerns.

Again, you're comparing apples to oranges. If Ford was getting a LTD, he wouldn't be getting a 2019 cap hit of $16M.
It's not about AAV, it's NEVER been about AAV. It's been about the 2019 salary cap.
