Vinny didn't handle contracts though, and that move was all Gibbs.

The years weren't really significant, obviously neither party thought he was going to here for 7 years. It was just the way the deal was structured to stretch out and lessen the cap hits. If you do a shorter deal, his cap impact would have been much higher.
