I think it's great cap strategy, but if I was a player, I'm not sure I'd go for this. I'd like to know exactly what is being said to the players and their agents that make them go for this type of deal. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining one bit, but I just find it interesting that players and their agents don't pick up on this stuff.

I was thinking the same thing back when it became clear that a lot players won't see the money they are reportedly signing for. Perhaps they know, but really you here comments like "I let me agent take care of all that". So, some of them may well be ignorant to this.
