Of all the numbers involved in an NFL contract; years, cap hit, bonuses, yearly cash, incentives, base, dead cap, etc. - the average yearly over the term fo the deal is easily the most meaningless.
Yet, y'all love going in circles arguing about it, and I'm curious as to why.
Just because it's the easiest to understand in relation to how normal everyday job salaries work?
Neither the player nor the team cares about that number.
The player wants guaranteed cash and perhaps security with a longer term, the team wants to manage the cap and build in an escape hatch if things go south after a few years.
You'd think some of y'all were going to have to dig into your savings to pay these deals, but I promise, no one is going to come knocking on your door.
