Give me your best Terry Contract (update: deal is done 3 yrs $96M)

[That Guy]

you don't pay him 35$m/year because that's insanity. his value is 28-30/y (real money that gets paid out, not fake numbers to inflate a contract). They're also not going to do 4 real years of contract either.

No deal: unhappy terry making 25m and then 28m (and then 32m) without guarantees.
Deal: happier terry making ?? (something they can agree on (30ish x3?) probably mostly guaranteed).

Team perspective, they don't need to do anything, Terry doesn't hit FA till he's 33 (though $85m richer) or they choose to let him.

He's getting real (generational wealth type) money either way. The biggest advantage a deal gives him is injury insurance.

I agree with all of this, except this year with no extension his real cash is $15million.

If they are offering 50m or more guaranteed I don't see how Terry doesn't ultimately take it. If it's under 50m then maybe he "bets on himself" and plays the year, but that's a huge risk on his part - injury or declining playing time if other receivers step up. Either way he plays here this year. I hope it's on a long term extension
