He's getting the money either way in the above scenario. You're just either paying it over 4 or 5 years.

It's more likely the thing is structured 5/85 with a 5 million buyout on a mutual sixth year than what you're suggesting.
That makes him a very a affordable 17 AAV and spreads it out in a manageable manner.
What you're suggesting doesn't make sense.
