No he won't.

He might get a 2-year deal that gives him say an $8 million signing bonus and $2 million in base this year (and some make-believe figure that nobody cares about next year) so he carries a $6 million cap hit in 2022 but gets $10 million in cash and hits the market in 2023 off hopefully a better platform season - but I'm betting that's at the absolute high side of the range.

I wouldn't be surprised to be a similar structure but at a $7 million signing bonus with a 2022 base salary of $1 million so he's got a cap hit below $5 million, sees 8 and goes to the market next year.
