Which is why the 2 year contract with a 3rd year opt out was smart. Unless Andy goes full Reidtard and demands to keep hm next season, we will have paid Sammy one year of a big hit. Let me repeat that...
one year of a high cap hit
one year of a high cap hit
one year of a high cap hit
one year of a high cap hit
Get it now?
Year 1-$7.8 million cap hit aka CHEAP
Year 2-$19.2 million cap hit
Year 3-Can trade or cut and save $14 million
I know Sammy is hurt consistently. I want to trade him next Spring, BUT the risk for a contract set up that way was low. This isn’t Frank Clark’s 5 year deal. This was a perfect structure for a risky player like Sammy.
And btw, Sammy was worth every penny last year despite being hurt a lot of the season. We get blown out at home by New England without Sammy. That’s how good he was in the 2nd half of that game.
