So he'll end up getting anywhere from a $1.5 million to $2 million dollar escalator on his deal.

Didn't Pioli do something similar with Carr? It seems like we sort of got screwed by that. There was speculation it pissed him off because he didn't get a real deal. After he signed that deal right before training camp it seemed like he was done negotiating. It could back fire. It almost seems like something teams do to players they don't plan keeping long term.
I could be way off here.
