I think he's saying it should be considered a 6 year deal since the seventh year (this year) was already under contract.

However, it would come down to whether the signing bonus can be amortized over all seven years he is under contract or only over the 6 year life of the extension.

Now... why the **** this is even worth discussing I couldn't begin to tell you. It's just arguing for arguments' sake. Shit is just semantics.

My understanding is that the bonus can be split up over the 7 years because it is an extension. I'll defer if someone can come in with something concrete to the contrary.

Jakemail is trying to make the contract more palatable by pretending it's a 7 year deal. He seems to need that crutch.
