So $23.5, $28.5 and $31 million in those seasons.

I kinda like my approach better. More risk but more short-term flexibility.

I like the flexibility but have a hard time believing the Chiefs wrote a bonus that big. More likely it is reasonably sized now with another restructure point next year or the year after.

If you bonus our $30M at signing, and then another $12M in 2025, and then another $9M in 2026, you bonus out $51M and defer $24M in bonus proration to the last two years.

Six/one half dozen/another.
