It's basically just a two year deal with this structure. Very little dead cap in 26 this way, but if he performs as well the next two years as he did this year and stays healthy there a $6 mil team option on the 3rd year. Keeps cap space open this season and maximizes flexibility in three years. Veach is going the opposite of teams like the saints and bills and not spending a bunch of cap for players not playing for the team.
