Structure would mean a TON.
I mean if you get Moore on a deal that essentially pays him, say, $20 million over the first 2 seasons and then $40 million over the following 2 seasons, you're essentially signing him for a 2 year deal with team options if he proves to be a credible LT.
You take a little bit of risk in those first 2 seasons at $10 million/season, but it's not horrifying.
And in the end, the numbers settle out as "mid-teens" over the 4 years. But if he plays out those 4 years, that mid-teen figure will be a steal.
You're risking a bit in the first couple seasons for a lot of value baked into the deal in the last 2.
Now maybe he does much much better than that. But that's a way that sort of contract could be structured to hit figures that are insane on their face but not too bad when you drill them down.
