There is nobody in the world who would have taken a comment about a new contract to have included the last year of the current deal. Anyone pretending otherwise is flat out lying. The new contract/extension/whatever talk was 100% in reference to additional years and additional money beyond the current contract. He got four additional years. He's getting 88 million additional dollars. That's $22,000,000 per year for four years. Hootie guessed $22,000,000 per year for five years. If anything, that would have been a better deal for Seattle because adding a fifth year to the contract would have been the most expensive year and likely would have made the extension more like 5/$115,000,000.
