If it’s me, I give him a 3 year extension for 80m and get him locked up for the next 4 years and lower his cap significantly for this year.

You realize what a kick in the dick we'd take next year to lower his cap this season and pro-rate it over 3 years with the extension you're offering?
He has a $20 million cap figure this year so lets just assume you want to knock that down to $8 million. So you convert it (any number of ways) to kick $12 million of it down the road. Then you add in your 3 year/$80 million extension. So now you're looking at 3 years to fit $80 million in cap space in PLUS the $12 million you pushed off.
You want 3 seasons that AVERAGE a $31 million/season cap hit starting in 2023 when he's 29 yrs old?
That seems...unwise.
