Right.

You'd start with a $13.5 million cap hit for 2023 due to the dead cap figures from last season's restructure being added to a $4 million base. Then you'd have some per-game incentives that end up LTBE so they go on this year's cap as well.

Figure a 50/50 split on LBTE/NLBTE incentives. So with another $1.5 million of that $3 million being considered LTBE, it goes immediately on this season's numbers and he ends up with a cap hit of around $15 million in 2023 with the possibility of additional 'tax' being added at the end of the season for the remaining $1.5 million.

We have no long-term liabilities and can really just go year to year with him from this point forward.

I can tolerate that.
