Speaking of blind, I guess you missed the numerous posts that show that he was only guaranteed $6M?
Teams heavily backload contracts knowing they are never going to pay that money - as a small percentage of the extension was guaranteed.
They could have signed him to a 40 year, $900B extension, and if they only guaranteed $6M, as they did in this instance, they could have cut him the next day and not owed him a dime over the $6M they guaranteed in the deal.
